Don't blame them.

They are not themselves anymore, they are on autopilot. Controlled and manipulated by their own ego.

It doesn't take amazingly high IQ (room temp will do in most cases) to remember this guy lies through his teeth weekly. A prudent individual should begin to think how he retains his position/salary if he's always wrong?

But nope. The fruit flies fly onto the next rotting apple, leaving us dumbfounded once again. At least they're consistent!
