Read the children's tale "The Emperor's New Clothes," so apropos to the president elect. The crooked tailors in the story pretend to weave a special fabric when in fact it is nothing but air.
As did our media, they convince everyone that one is unenlightened if they cannot see the fine fabrics that they weave (fabricate). Even the Emperor is convinced that he, too, sees the new clothing so as to seem enlightened and of high intelligence.
It isn't until later when he parades about his kingdom in his new clothes (role as a leader) that an innocent child in the crowd points out that the Emperor wears no clothes, making fools of everyone!
I might buy a Golden Book version and frame it for my office.
