Telling the fact does not require intellectual effort, but often, more and more recently, courage. I hope that we have just the dusk of the "progressive" dark age. The extraordinary diversity of sex goes to the lamest, as does climate nonsense, etc.
What's harder? Telling the fact or lying? It depends on both sides of the message. The liar assumes that the listener is stupid and “buys everything”. In the case of "electorate", he is right. He who voted for a proven liar, reason and intelligence was not guided. Clearly, specified an electorate does not head that the “power” frequently contradicts and denies his own words. It is besides useful to be "spoke". Even worse, erstwhile specified acceptance is not due to pure folly, but to calculating. A smart-ass wouldn't be a smart-ass if he didn't usage falseness to accomplish his own evil purpose.
When I have the chance to talk to an uninterested politician, I ask her what tv station she's getting information from. The most I hear is TVN. So the false filling doesn't go to the vacuum. Let us be aware of this, and let us not delude ourselves that a faithful TVN viewer will abruptly want to compare information from another source. No way. It could give him cognitive discomfort.
