There is a quote floating around the Internet from Hannah Arendt:
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." -Hannah Arendt

This is so true, as made clear by what you say. The media is not lying to us (ALL OF IT). Some is, some isn't. There is still responsible journalism telling us the truth, but many don't believe it because they've been told it's all lies, because certain politicians and one in particular have destroyed the very concept of truth. So half of us spend our time obsessing over things that aren't true and we fail to tackle genuine problems because we can't even agree they exist. The irony is that even the quote above that I find so compelling is not genuine. Arendt did say all those things but not with that precise wording. So, is it even the truth? Not the content, which to anyone paying attention clearly is, but the formulation which is a paraphrasing of what she said.

Oops, I think my head just exploded.
