It is true that the Internet can be used to disseminate falsehoods quickly, but it just as quickly roots them out and exposes them in a way that the traditional model of journalism and its closed, insular, one-way form of communication could never do.

False news, when combined with social media, can wreak havoc thanks to its potential of reaching millions in a short span. The effects can be quite disturbing.

It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.

The Internet is a strange, strange place that is full of lies. I would say mostly lies.

The Internet unfortunately means that, although a lot of truth and good stuff can spread as a result of the Internet, I think bad stuff and negativity spreads even more quickly.

One of the reasons why I think people have gone from reading mainstream newspapers to the Internet is because they realize they're being lied to.

The Internet has made it much more effective and cheaper to spread propaganda.

It doesn't benefit me to lie to people. They're eventually going to find out the truth, and then where am I? That's the problem with liberalism and socialism, by the way: it has to be propped up by lies.

There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.

People lie, and they always are very very creative in finding new ways to lie.
