| If you’re still able to watch, listen to, or read about national political news and commentary, you’re being subjected to an ample amount of alternative facts, breathless analysis, and truth that isn’t truth – in other words, welcome to the age of institutionalized, well organized, mainstream BS. Here’s the rub: almost everyone thinks they can spot lies, spin and bull-cookies when they hear it, and therefore they can ignore it or dismiss it. Everyone is just flat wrong.
On the positive side, there actually are ways to identify (and spot the specific characteristics of) people that are generally trustworthy.
