> I've spent a lifetime working for people in the highest echelons of power, and for some captains of industry. I've watched C-level of some corps you all know simply lie outright to their own legal counsel on quite literally daily basis.

That isn't more meaningful than saying all people are biased. In both cases, there are vast differences in degree, and those differences contain all the meaning and significance. Some people and some information are vastly more biased than others. Sean Hannity is not the same as PBS News Hour. Elon Musk is not the same as Tim Cook. Marjorie Taylor Green is not the same as Mitt Romney.

Life is about deciding who to trust and thinking critically. 'Everybody lies' is the claim of liars, who not only want to normalize their abnormal behavior but also bring down honest people.

Hyperbole may be satisfying, but it tells us nothing but the emotion of the speaker. It also demonstrates a lack of understanding - they don't know anything more than a vastly overgeneralized claim (though maybe the speaker is just not expressing what they know).

(Also, most information in the world doesn't come from C-level corporate executives.)
