As long as the traditional media endorse everything the politicians say … the lies will continue. Why are politicians not challenged? Who is stopping the querying by those with microphones in their hands??
Great questions but I'm afraid I don't have easy answers. Traditional media, especially in the UK are, of course, facilitators of the lies. It must be at least partly to do with their ownership. The BBC is now scared of upsetting politicians for fear of losing the licence fee. Mostly though, it's because very few people are bothered about being lied to. I really can't explain that.
