As was the case in Germany from 1933-1945, bald faced lies - aka propaganda - is adopted by the media as truth.

One sees this historically in accounts of Germans and Japanese who still thought, as late as 1945, "victory" in the 2nd World War even as their cities were being blown to pieces in front of their eyes. One hopes that doesn't happen here, but it no longer seems impossible that it will.

Anyone who confuses the bulk of the population with rational beings will be unpleasantly surprised.
