We got there with brazen falsehoods that don't get punished in the marketplace of ideas, or at the polls, or at the gallows.

As it turns out, truth is a thing beyond price - which is to say, it is worthless.

I feel obligated to respond. Accurate information ( research, analysis and so on ) is out there though it usually you have to pay good money for it. "Free" news", as it were, is basically whatever brings attention ( which FB proved oh so very well ).

Truth is not worthless. Quite the contrary. Truth is expensive. But a fair chunk of the population subsisted on a rather limited news diet.
