as i've recently gotten to know more public figures, i've become increasingly horrified at the amount of outright lies there are about their lives. the public doesn't give a *shit* about the truth. news outlets and mobs just say blatantly false things, zero fact checking

its a creeping uncanny disgust. i *knew* media wasn't trustworthy, but I don't think I realized the *degree*. Some part of me believed that people cared at least a little bit about the truth before they tried to destroy others, but I was wrong. we're no better than lynch mobs.

just... random people! the public figures aren't lying, or at least not the ones I know, or at least not about the things that the media/mobs are confidently reporting incorrectly. I have *been present* for events that I saw mobs later claiming happened differently
