The Big Lie Goe's Viral

I first heard about the big lie when I was in high school. I was told that Hitler's propaganda machine depended upon the use of the big lie. An absurd idea, if repeated often enough, becomes believable. Hitler's propaganda minister also boasted that the battle between fascism and socialism was won because of his superior propaganda operation. This article tells us that the big lie is alive and well in the US. The public questions whether global warming is real, and many believe that government policies forced banks to sink the financial system and send us into recession. We are also told that the best way to end the downturn is to prevent government from doing things that might stimulate the economy. In fact, we are being told that actions which will prolong recession are the best way to deal with recession.
