Lies are lies no matter who says them how many times.  Lies are lies.  But . . .

Tweety Twump is betraying us by dividing us, and his tool is continuous lies, daily, even hourly, to fool us and confuse us.  I have blogged it a few times already, maybe a year ago, but the way the media carries Tweetie's message helps make him effective even when he lies.

"How liars create the ‘illusion of truth’"

"Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford."

In fact, sometimes there is no need for facts to get people to believe a lie!

"“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect. Here's how a typical experiment on the effect works: participants rate how true trivia items are, things like "A prune is a dried plum". Sometimes these items are true (like that one), but sometimes participants see a parallel version which isn't true (something like "A date is a dried plum").

After a break – of minutes or even weeks – the participants do the procedure again, but this time some of the items they rate are new, and some they saw before in the first phase. The key finding is that people tend to rate items they've seen before as more likely to be true, regardless of whether they are true or not, and seemingly for the sole reason that they are more familiar."
