Description:
Why has punditry overtaken news, with so many media outlets pushing partisan agendas instead of information? Why do lies seem to linger so long in the cultural subconscious even after they've been thoroughly discredited? And why, when more people than ever before are documenting the truth with laptops and digital cameras, does fact-free spin and propaganda seem to work so well? Comedian Stephen Colbert's catchword 'truthiness' captured something essential about our age: that people are now more comfortable with ideas thatfeeltrue, even if the evidence for those beliefs is thin.
