It's never been any different. People have been lying since the invention of language, probably before the invention of language. In order to lie, people have to know what is true and deliberately choose falsehood. But if someone is going to make claim X regardless of whether or not X is true or false, why bother actually checking if X is true or false? Often people aren't lying so much as bullsh*tting, without caring about what is actually true.
