In the weekly edition of the Defector Funbag, the conversation reflects on the pervasive nature of lying in modern America, where deceit has become commonplace and is largely accepted by the public. The discussion shifts towards the controversial figure of Pete Rose, whose extensive history of gambling and dishonesty continues to influence perceptions of him. The author argues that the normalization of lies has led to a collective indifference, revealing a broader societal apathy towards truth and accountability.
The default setting of this country is to spew bullshit, which reduces lying from a cardinal sin to background noise.

Most of us have exhausted our outrage reserves, as lying has become normalized in everyday life.
