Do We Now Live In A World Full Of Lies, Propaganda And Fake News... Or...

... would you say, it has always been like that?
What do you think? Is the world now run on lies, propaganda and fake news? Or is that being paranoid?

Always been like that, social media has made us more aware
the mess politicians make of our lives.

Then resign when the going gets tough, never held to account.

It's the amount of crackpot conspiracy theories that worries me. And even more worrying is the amount of people who believe them.

Did you know that David Icke is working for the Russians?

The only problem we have is that people now believe that the world is now run on lies, propaganda and fake news. The fact is that the world has not changed, just the perception of ordinary individuals like us has shifted axis. The world itself is just the same as it has ever been.

We haven't learned anything new, there is no epithany. It's just a point of view, a zeitgeist. Not reality.


It was discovered long ago that people could be easily manipulated. People want to believe in something that gives them hope. The internet has made that easy en masse. it's a fascinating time to study human behaviour.

I think you always have had to read between the lines of any news story and form your own opinion....thing is though that we are bombarded with news these days....its difficult to keep up.
