Lying is an epidemic even worse than COVID.
Our president and his press secretaries seem to lie with every word they say and deny facts that anyone with a pair of eyes can see for himself.
Scientists and doctors, formerly among the most trusted members of our society, lie to foster popular environmental theories and get government grants, or to promote Big Pharma and deter people from effective treatments.
Our news media no longer report the news; they shape the news as instructed.
Here is just a sample of commonly promoted lies starting in 2020.
Masks will keep us safe from COVID.
COVID vaccines are safe and effective.
Oil and natural gas are going to destroy the planet.
Electric cars are going to save the environment.
Our justice system is fair for all.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Trump stole classified documents.
Boys should compete in girls’ sports.
Search engines give honest results.
Protecting Ukraine’s borders is in the interest of the United States.
Our borders are safe and secure.
Israel is guilty of war crimes.
The 2020 Election was the safest and most secure in history.
