Wait, there's a sex tape of Bill Clinton?

In all seriousness, quotes are all good, but you would benefit from saying what it is you hope to achieve by them.

I think the point is that facts (whether on TV or not) didn't use to matter more than they do today.
So you are claiming that no one cared about the Clinton scandal in the 90s?

Because no one sure didn't seem to care about the numerous Trump ones.

Democrats surely didn't. And the prosecution side was pretty sketchy in its own right.
No I am claiming the opposite. That people care as much today as they did back in the 90s.
I... can't say anything other than:

Apparently not.

I would love for you to substantiate that into something meaningful.

So by all means. Prove me wrong.

He won? That is very quantifiable. Despite on 69% of statements lying according to politifact.

I would love for you to show me how people cared as much about truth now.
