“The Lies are Winning”
This episode was especially piercing of the veil of denial and confusion of the right-wing’s now brazen defense and spread of lies. As the examples were reported, one of the hosts mentioned that if legitimate journalists (like these three brilliant ones) were to spread lies, they would be sued, lose their careers, etc. They expressed a kind of shock that, through Fox and X and other online media, we have reached a point where lies are baldly promulgated for reasons of power with no consequences to the liars! I felt they expressed the tragic consequences for us and our democracy and I also heard the tragic resonance for the profession they’ve devoted their lives to. Our culture won’t be the same. I thank the hosts/writers for delivering the gravity of the situation.
