To be fair: not pushing lies that are big enough to provoke a successful lawsuit any more is not the same as telling the truth.

No argument. Telling the truth wasn't marketable during the cold war either, and news programs had to actually contain a minimum news content and follow accuracy standards. Those got lost during the rise of cable and CNN became the leading news channel.
