Meanwhile, the one reverberating litany we hear over and over again is, "politicians lie." All politicians lie. Both sides lie.
So, I offer this question: Who benefits from the belief that "all politicians" or "all news media" lie?
The answer: Those who do the most lying. The pervasive belief that all politicians lie, that both sides lie, becomes a convenient cover for those whose strategy is to spread disinformation, and use that disinformation to stir up fear and anger.
