The " stories " that are emerging in the 2008 election are examples of the poison of postmodernism and its erosion of the values attendant on the critical distinction between veracity and mendacity . Truth too often is buried by the narrative , while lies are carried by it and transmuted into conventional wisdom . Presidential candidates in their roles as communicators often elide facts and nuance in the interest of advancing their narrative . The same goes for promoters throughout the culture , tin plated philosophers , game theory economists , and marketeers advancing their causes or beliefs regardless of factual constraints .
