Whatever happened to the idea of credibility? I can’t understand how someone can lie over and over yet people still follow and believe their words. Worse yet is media organizations continuing to print the words of proven liars. Why? At some point isn’t there a “we don’t believe you any more” moment?

@GofLeisure The problem is that so many have lost credibility over time that there is no reliable place to go for credible information.

The bar has been lowered that far, so people in general don't know what to believe.

With credible institutions giving up their credibility, the vacuum gets filled by questionable sources, because that's all we have left.

It was, sadly, an entirely foreseeable result of strategic steps. But here we are.
