“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. "
There has been no more glarng example of this premise than the Conservative thought machine. Whatever rumor, no matter how far from the truth is grist for the mill for the con blogs.
"...One of the more striking features of the contemporary conservative movement is the extent to which it has been moving toward epistemic closure. Reality is defined by a multimedia array of interconnected and cross promoting conservative blogs, radio programs, magazines, and of course, Fox News. Whatever conflicts with that reality can be dismissed out of hand because it comes from the liberal media, and is therefore ipso facto not to be trusted. (How do you know they're liberal? Well, they disagree with the conservative media!)"

Very true and is constantly demonstrated by many here and pointed out by others here. How can they not see it? Or worse, how can they defend it, and clutch it tighter?
