Actually I wouldn't say it's only today nor just in the USA. Influential people everywhere have always done their best to manipulate the masses. Oftentimes it works not only with the less intellectual. Resort to logical fallacy relies on how people are not typically so logical but also on laziness; folks who simply can't be bothered with distinguishing arm from a. h. will always fall for it.
