| When people KNOW they're being lied to - "Conspiracy Theories" proliferate.... |
|
Most are rubbish....Many come close to the mark.
Myself, I read the people whose credentials check out.
Also, the deeper the lies, the more that the liars rely on people just forgetting most of what was news yesterday. Remember how Cheney and Rumsfeld would lie and have their lies revealed on Sunday Morning talk shows?

Cut off the Becks and Limbaughs and those lies self-extinguish in a few days...
