Yes, it's a way to maintain authority. Politics, corporations, and media want to keep a stranglehold on their authority statuses thus all three professions ignore the facts to promote themselves.

Could be. This is easy to find on the Internet.
Here is an example of a fact Republicans ignore when saying its the Democrats who are disloyal to their country:
"Cheney's Five Draft Deferments During the Vietnam Era Emerge as a Campaign Issue" -- discussing the lengths VP Dick Cheney went to in order to avoid serving during the Viet Nam war.
It is apparent from the piece that Richard Cheney did everything humanly possible -- short of fleeing to Canada -- to avoid military conscription: He applied for and recieved 5 student deferments, a number described as "incredible" by professor David Curry of the University of Missouri in St. Louis.

Well to be fair to everyone I would say Politicians don't necessarily ignore the facts as much as accentuate the truth as they know it.

No. Effective polticians don't ignore the facts, they use them to their own advantage.
