I was alive at the time and there was no internet I remember it . We read newspapers.
Another problem with getting the truth was the "mentally incompetent" were not believed and dismissed as being NUTS so therefore they could not tell the truth.
There were cases of mentally ill patients trying to bite a care giver. The "punishment" to the mentally ill patient was to have all their teeth pulled without any novocaine. This was an accepted practice.
Remember these were nuts accusing "professionals" of abuse Who do think won?
Look how long the physical abuse of our Olympic athletes continued before the truth was known. Or the Penn State abuse or so much else.
Bury your heads in the sand as if it did not and does not happen but it does.

If it wasn't for some "politician" inventing the internet we would still be reading newspapers....

Thankfully, he was able to see the benefits of the internet, and moved it along, while other politicians could not see the future, but wanted to go back to days gone by.

Believe it or not people have been known to make up facts to suit their feelings. The Internet is living proof of that. But a source could help one determine if they choose to believe some of the drivel that is posted on the internet. Even the source can be suspect at times.

Actually I believe it is;
Confirmation bias which is the tendency to believe in things you believe in. So if you see something on the net and you will agree.
Disconfirmation bias is the tendency to not believe in things you disagree with.

I haven't found the reverse switch yet. So at 78 I am pressing on knowing that sooner or later I won't have any troubles to worry about.

Maybe the same, or less, than started out drinking alcohol, which is the most abused drug in the world. How many heroin addicts started out on prescription opioids? That is quite a leap from reefer to heroin. Kind of like making a leap from having a beer after work to full blown alcoholism. BTW, addiction, to any substance, behavior, etc., is a mental health problem, whether one likes to acknowledge it or not. Opinions are not facts and should not drive one's perception of an issue.
