Fox fell into the hole it helped dig The right wing, Fox News included, trained their audience to trust no one. Except them. It was the culmination of a decades-long effort by the right to discredit anyone not from their tribe and to dissolve external reality. Government, academia, science, and the media are the enemy.

That someone was Donald Trump. The conservative base trusted him more. The right had killed off any other source of reality-checking authority except the purveyors of blustery nonsense. Trust (or “anonymous trust“) has been destroyed. See Hayes’ monologue from last night: Some time back, I suggested that the trend began with the Reformation: Say what you will about the excesses of Rome and the papacy (and not to ignore Constantinople), prior to the Reformation there was some central authority to define Christianity for much of the West, to set standards and protocols, if you will.

Over the last few decades, I have done a lot of reading and research on the way organisations and groups deteriorate into what socio-psychologists call Groupthink, which is a system of patterned behaviour that takes the group increasingly further away from reality and sees it denying basic facts while at the same time maintaining authority…
