Falsehoods, spin and denial of data we need in order to make informed decisions about our associations and endeavours, keeps us from effective action, for the short term or our entire lives.
It was once said, 'My people perish for lack of knowledge' and commercialized, biased versions of information are NOT imparting knowledge. Instead, it clearly hinders our ability to reason things out.
