That's the claim, and it's a belief that's self-fulfilling prophecy, like saying all politicians are corrupt.

If you can convince everyone that everyone is corrupt, it hurts anyone who isn't corrupt. You hear people preferring those who have no shame about their corruption, based on the premise that those who aren't overtly corrupt must be more sinister and dangerous if they hide their corruption so well.

It's a race to the bottom.

Such a good point. Disinformation and trying to destroy sources of truth is just part of the puzzle. Often the worst damage is just "well, both sides are bad" -- because it just tells people not to listen to either side, or it is too much work.

The end goal: they want to push that you must sacrifice your rights to a monarch or authoritarian person for order and safety.

No, that's not the same at all, because it is possible to be not corrupt while it is impossible to be unbiased.

I think there are important differences between bias and dishonesty/propaganda though, and that's where your argument is still valid.
