Not so long ago, the "truth" was mainly given by the priest or the mayor.

For priest or the mayor read "trusted or official sources" nowadays. I believe that is the current euphemism.

And now it's given by the mainstream media, which is mostly owned by a few very rich people and pushes the same type of propaganda as before (but now globally).

  • There was a point where I would agree with that, but we seem to be moving past that. The "truth" seems to be coming more from social media influencers than mainstream media now.

    It's kind of a shit show.
