“We saw [the post-truth] triumph in the UK, when the very day after the vote in favor of Brexit, its defenders unabashedly admitted to having lied about the health benefits of leaving Europe. Or when François Fillon's campaign team didn't hesitate to greatly exaggerate the number of people present to support their candidate on the Place du Trocadéro. And what about the Turkish government, which complains about being censored in Europe while imprisoning its journalists? Or Russia, which fills the world with dubious information via clever media propaganda?”

Sebastian Dieguez, “Post-truth: the dark side of the brain”, Cerveau & Psycho, April 21, 2017.
