It's all part of the same, global phenomena. "You can't trust traditional sources of truth, there is no objective truth, I can spread lies as everyone does it, I will believe what I want, I will believe my team/side, I can do whatever I want as there is no objective right or wrong."

Why should I trust the NYT when they frequently exaggerate and lie about things I know about? Is it unreasonable to assume they also lie and exaggerate about the areas I don't know about?
