You know what doesn't?

It occurred to me that the way the whole TFG-Republican-Fox nexus works is similar, except that what's being sold is *lies.* Somebody realized that there's a vast market for people being told what they want to hear.

As with the Ponzi scheme investments, however, the lies have to keep coming. When one lie starts to unravel, more lies have to be concocted to fill up the gaps.
