> News is just content now. What you believe isn't the truth, it's identity, your tribe, your personality. It doesn't matter if it's true, it just matters that it's in line with the belief of your tribe.

No matter what you believe, there's someone out there saying it's a lie or it's true, there's no absolute truths anymore; anything is real.
As a consequence of that, now that no-one knows what to believe, people are starting to trust personalities like Alex Jones simply because they're appealing or entertaining to listen to.
