"There are many things that concern me about the Trump presidency — in
fact, few don’t — but the frivolous blurring of truth and untruth, fact
and falsehood, is the most grave. Liberty depends on facts. When the
distinction between truth and lies disappears there is no basis for the
rational discourse on which the organization of a free society, governed
by laws, depends. Disorientation propagates itself — and disoriented
people are more inclined to accept a despot as sole font of truth."
-NY Times editorial, 6-23-17
