Was thinking about this, and it's the perfect analogy. With all the misinformation and lies surrounding the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and covid-19 (and countless other stories) is it any wonder that so many people don't trust them?

Now think how dangerous that is in the event of a real crisis. There could be important information that we need and half the population is going to disregard it as they have no credibility.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false" is attributted to Ex CIA Director Willam Casey.

Have a large book on Casey. Besides that quote (not in there, and I've never been sure if verified), he had some interesting thoughts, and there's even funny moments. His opinion on other intelligence agencies; the Brits practice grade school faggotry, the jews play everyone by nature, the french could be good but too sneaky and distrustful they sabotage themselves.

Then he'd mumble sometimes, maybe on purpose, staff would write notes to each other, 'do you know what the hell he's talking about'.

Dude was a workaholic. Realized the cold war was pretty much over when he saw coke in a communist country - at a time only Pepsi was sold there

Yep, hence the use of the phrase “attributed to”. Maybe the quote was thrown out there himself considering his profession and “brand of humor” for lack of a better term.
