anyone ever heard of this?
someone tells a lie (with intent and possibly even through mass media channels)
it's proven to be a lie (maybe even the liar invites people to expose the lie because they are so cocky, uh, I mean ethically, politically and financially disposed to the truth)
but people continue (prefer) to believe the lie even though the truth has been told
that never really happens, does it?
