That is , the idea of engineered misinformation , disinformation and False Flags is

broadly a very recent happening . At least in terms of it been widely seen and understood .

However the elderly , who most dislike change , were brought up in an era where TV , Radio and the Press were considered to be honest custodians for truth and honesty .
