One of the enduring lessons people, at least in Westernish countries, will take from this administration is that you can say literally anything and the media will dutifully give it credence without second thought or any semblance of fact checking in their desperate, ravenous desire for clicks and engagement (and their general inability to even spell “truth”). And, further, that if you say and do <i>enough things</i>, you’ll already be ten lies past the one they’re trying to call you on, and the majority of people are too dumb to keep track or care.<p>It’s incredible how completely “journalists” have failed everyone.
