The Anatomy of a Political Lie

0
28

1. Politician announces a lie.

2. Media reinforce the lie.

3. The lie gets debated on social media.

4. The lie becomes perceived wisdom.

5. When the lie is challenged as evidently untrue, believers of the lie develop cognitive dissonance.

And this is how a lie gets normalised.
