Here’s how objective reality died.
After Watergate, the Right learned the lesson that a free press could bring down the most powerful leaders. They decided to destroy that.
When Reagan was elected he started out by gutting the FCC. When TV and radio were starting the Federal government said that no one entity could own more than one TV and two radio [AM and FM] stations in one market. If a station ran an editorial, they had to offer the opposition air time to refute. The Big Three networks competed to provide high quality reporting.
Sinclair owns about 300 stations directly. Blame Reagan.
I think it goes back further than that, tbh.
I would say when someone is successfully gaslight by another individual.
Any truth that relies on the term “always” will always die.
I will always love you.
You always have family.
You will always mean something to me.
