I'd say it's easier than ever.
20 years ago, basically nobody was aware the media was even propaganda. It's not changed at all in those 20 years. I remember expecting somebody to call out Fox News for continually lying about the Iraq War, no NEWS service did, but the Daily Show did. They don't do that shit anymore.

Truth can always stand more light, whereas lies cannot.
With all of the resources that are available, if you've been duped, you have no one to blame but yourself.

1. Before accepting or dismissing the idea of objective truth, ask yourself what ‘objective truth’ is supposed to be. There are different ways to understand the idea that truth is objective, and each of them is plausible when applied to at least some of our beliefs.
2. The ideas of ‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’ may be self-undermining, and they’re hard to spell out. It may seem that each of us has ‘different truths’, but endorsing this idea seems to undermine it, and it’s not so clear what the idea even amounts to.
3. Truth may be one of the most basic concepts that we have. The idea that truth is a primitive concept helps to explain why philosophical definitions of truth fail to deliver. Four decades of research in developmental psychology also shows us that we should take this idea seriously.
4. Someone from another culture may think differently about truth than you do. Our cultures and languages can affect the beliefs we have about truth. This means that we need to carefully consider how truth is represented across different cultures.
5. Truth’s nature may be simpler than you think. The nature of truth can seem impossibly complex. However, the commonsensical idea that true claims tell us what the world is like gives us a straightforward and useful procedure for thinking about truth.
