"Truth Decay...?" It's gonna' take a lot more than Jo Biden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to wash Obama out of my mouth! I don't think Obama came up with the phrase, but it's a really useful expression for what we are seeing, not just here in the US, but all over the world. An indication of how far this has gone is that NewsMax is now siphoning off a lot of Fox News viewers. The dynamic in its demographic has evolved from supply side disinformation, where a constant stream of falsehoods creates an audience demand, to demand side disinformation, where an audience craves falsehoods that fit with what they need to hear and goes looking for a new source when the original disappoints. In this imaginary universe, Biden didn't win the election, and no prizes for guessing who is tweeting NewsMax a lot these days  This is a really hard discussion to have because everyone seems to believe that everyone else is brainwashed.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
