Our age is often called the Information Age.  A more fitting name might be the Disinformation Age.

Media has always been biased, and more than one whopper has been told in the past.  But over the last few years, truth seems to be either irrelevant or an afterthought for many.  The sad part is, as society becomes more polarized, fewer people seem to care.

Don't like Hillary?  She ran a child prostitution ring out of a pizza place!  Don't like Trump?  He's so far in bed with the Russians that soon we will be saying nazdrovyeh instead of Cheers!  Immigration a problem?  Sharia law is around the corner!  Climate change action will be inconvenient and expensive?  It's an ice age that's coming, not rising oceans!  CPC isn't your preferred alternative?  A woman's choice will soon be illegal!

The left and the right are both guilty of it, and it seems many either don't know -- or don't care.
