Do rich people control the truth?

In literal terms, they do not.

The truth is the truth and I'm an objectivist philosophically.

Do they control narratives and people's perceptions of the truth?

Yes.

Yeah but lots of poor people deliberately choose to be lied to so long as the lies conform with their personal idea of the world, even when they know it's lies, so..

Yes, by controlling the media and what goes into school curriculums

Just people’s perception of it sometimes. But that’s dangerous enough.

Wealth buys influence that's for sure.

Hmm...
I know some try.
Also depends on who you are calling rich.

Rich people dont know how to tell the truth

Not quite, but certainly it helps.

Yes

Not yet.

No

I don't think so, but they definitely have massive influence over news, media, and what gets squashed.

No.

I would say groups of rich people control the "truth"

Absolutely.
