Reflections Towards the Truth in the Fair’s Mirror of the Post-Truth Media

Summary/Abstract: Our paper tries to reveal the mechanisms which lead, with a few but notable exceptions, to the press’ “genetic modification” from Cerberus, the guardian of human freedom, into a barking poodle woofing the mind mashing propaganda of its governmental masters on a large scale covered by nowadays ubiquitous mass-media. To achieve that, we begin with the etymology of the term “post-truth”, the collocation of the year 2016, according to the Oxford Dictionary, observing how Derrida’s deconstruction works as an instrument of Logos’ dissolution and how the contemporary media contributes, like a concave mirror, to the reflection of a distorted virtual reality towards which it is intrusively approaching almost leading to fusion.
