They Just Don't Suspect the Court Jester

In Frank Rich's new book The Greatest Story Ever Sold , he says that the only journalists who looked skeptically at the facts before the Iraq war were the fake news journalists (John Stewart, etc.). It is as it has always been, the universal blindspot of the arrogant elite is their failure to grasp the message and the power of the message of entertainment.

In a time of universal deceit,
telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
- George Orwell -
