A sad comment on what we think/ believe is true or real these days. Undermined by post-modernist thinking- that the truth is what we 'think' it is, that truth is personal and subjective has made 'truth' redundant and irrelevant.
I think added to the mix is the mixing of political commentary, bias and opinion in our news media that when 2 different politically-minded news organisations report on an incident or event, they can paint very different pictures of what really happened, making it extremely difficult for people to know what really did happen.
It's a bleak track, but important if we are to seek and find real truth in life.
