"The truth ultimately comes out. We ultimately were informed of the fact that Saddam Hussein in fact had no chemical weapons. "
You forget that the liars are never punished. They can and will repeat their sins again and again and again, harming society endlessly with impunity.
Only if and when people like Dick Cheney and George Bush are convicted of war crimes and journalists caught upholding their lies, accepting the corporate bribes for them, barred from all public life. Only then...
But no, we do the very opposite.
We ban the very journalists who expose these lies into marginality, into financial poverty and we persecute every single whistleblower until they are completely destroyed.
The message is crystal clear.
Nobody with a sane mind today wants to become a journalist and you are crazy to whistleblow. So AI generated government narrative will dominate the era of post-journalism in a complacent country filled with yes(wo)men. Yes, just like North Korea and its people. They too think they are free. Congratulations.
