Getting Away with Lies is Getting Harder

Last night Dan Rather and Rachel Maddow were talking about how hard it has become to get away with lies. Here's a new article on the subject. Now, I am finding it harder and harder to believe in Ryan's minus-three-hour marathon. Help thou my unbelief, Ari Melber! This is interesting to me not just for its political significance but also because in my forthcoming MELVILLE BIOGRAPHY I write about how the social media has broken the control over information that the mainstream media formerly possessed and often misused. You can't get away with lying the way you used to.
