It seems to me that truth and justice have been under assault for a long time.
The “wars on concepts” (drugs, terror) have seemed more like wars on truth and justice, to me, and quite a few other intelligent people.
Truth as presented by our news media and government have long been very low-grade, and getting worse and worse.
There are quite a few issues with “justice” too (for-profit prisons, incarceration for possession of marijuana, record numbers of people in prison, The Patriot Act, unnecessary police brutality and killings, etc).
