I don't know what particular lies you have in mind, but yes, I have exactly the same thoughts many times recently, and was thinking the same again this evening when watching the news programmes!

I'd reply, but without any knowledge whatsoever of the lies to which you refer I have no chance of making any informed answer!

I have been really struck this week by how naive/gullible some people are. Where are their brains when they watch TV news, or read a newspaper? Why are they just swallowing the lies being peddled?

I find it really worrying that so many people are so easily swayed.
