He was absolutely correct IN HIS TIME. He was born in 1902 and died in the 70s's. Times have changed since he said that....we now have access to more facts than ever before and YES, they can be manipulated but the responsibility for not accepting lies is OURS.

Frankly, the manipulation of facts increases as we have so much more ability to determine what they are, which leads me to believe it is US who do not care much about facts anymore and that is sad and what bothers me more than anything because you are now open to so much more manipulation by gifted liars who shout down the truth.
