SEE HERE Bill O'Reilly waxes bloviatingly (just to use his word) on the lack of standards of truth any longer in the media. Not only do many journalists seem to ignore the plain truth, but they show an active disdain for the truth, intentionally imposing narratives that are demonstrably untrue. This places the reader or listener in the unenviable position of having to evaluate the quality of the information being conveyed usually without an adequate basis of judgment.
When a journalist says thus and such and it isn't true and they're called on it and give a don't care response, then you know how dedicated they are to telling the truth. Today you can't count on any dedication to the truth so you just have to average the lies and see if you can make sense of things. Listen to all the spin and maybe you can see your way clear to a shadowy image of the truth that lies behind the lies.
