THE POST-TRUTH ERA:
Writing for The New Republic Online Gregg Easterbrook finds that “whether something is believed has become more important than whether it’s true.” As evidence, Easterbrook introduces us to The Post-Truth Era, a new book by Ralph Keyes. In an article (requires registration) that touches on the recent presidential debates, LBJ, Jesse Ventura, Jacques Derrida, and Werner Heisnberg, Easterbrook grapples with the new American appetite for lies.
