Does truth exist any more?

When the truth is frequently branded “fake news” and fake news is depicted as truth, how do we know if truth exists any more?
If, within the realm of reality, all tangible and intangible conditions align with the narrative, then the narrative is truth. Creative contextual splicing is not truth. Intentional looping is not truth. Altered truths and twisted truths are lies. Here is an example. This tabloid headline is a lie, and provides it's own proof of falsehood. It brushes close enough to the truth that people will glance over it; accept it as truth, and move on, but the text of the headline is a lie.

My truth is I rarely lie at all. However I seem to know people who have no problem with it and live their lives telling lies daily. 😡

Truth always exists, it just may not be recognized. We have spent most of human history not knowing the truth about things. We've had setbacks worse than this before. There may be a dark time, but someone will champion truth and carry forward.

My concern is, now we’re in a era of terrible events, Salisbury, England, the disappearance of a journalist in Turkey, and many other events having been dismissed as lies, “fake news”, is encouraging further similar acts, because those who carry out such acts know they can get away with it?

Has the inventor of the term “fake news” allowed this to be picked up and driven as normal behaviour, and was this further encouraged by branding the press as the enemy of the people?

The Truth is out there. Efforts to obfuscate and change the Truth never work in the end.
It exist for people who think and use his brain
