A lie told enough to become truth

 For a belief to exist, you need believers. And for that, most of the time, media and politician use the trick A lie told enough to become truth to defend themselves. First of all, there are no moral in politics (Lenin). To convert a fake news into reality, a person lies million times to make it feel like it’s reality. This is also known as Illusion of truth effect. Now, the question arises. Does truth exist? Yes, it’s. For example, many years ago people genuinely ‘knew’ that the earth was flat. It was later proven by scientists to be a globe. Moreover, Dr. James Studd, a lecturer in the Philosophy of Mathematics (University of Oxford) says, “The earth was always round. That was always true. What’s changed is the belief and the knowledge about the Earth. The Earth didn’t change - we did!” So, changing thoughts of people is the utensil to make things true. Hence, by creating illusion and delusion, a lie can be existed in a form of truth.

In terms of media, it is Propaganda.

As of course, it is the most influencing power. If a media wanted to mislead the people. Any form of media will start to publicize the false news and people will start to trust on it. Circulation of useless and illogical information will affect the human psychology. Many experiments exist like;

Recently, a team led by Lisa Fazio of Vanderbilt University set out to test how the illusion of truth effect interacts with our prior knowledge. Would it affect our existing knowledge? They used paired true and un-true statements, but also split their items according to how likely participants were to know the truth.

Their results show that the illusion of truth effect worked just as strongly for known as for unknown items, suggesting that prior knowledge won’t prevent repetition from swaying our judgements of acceptability.

Now the major question arises. How we can differentiate between the truth and a lie?

Most importantly, take a break. Don’t think on it for a while. After sometime, gather knowledge and do research on the INFORMATION. You should clarify the evidences because the fact base on the logics and not in the number of evidences.

If repetition was the only thing that influenced what we believed we'd be in trouble, but it isn't. We can all bring to bear more extensive powers of reasoning, but we need to recognize they are a limited resource. Our minds are prey to the illusion of truth effect because our instinct is to use short-cuts in judging how plausible something is. Often this works. Sometimes it is misleading.

But part of guarding against the illusion is the obligation it puts on us to stop repeating falsehoods. We live in a world where the facts matter, and should matter. If you repeat things without bothering to check if they are true, you are helping to make a world where lies and truth are easier to confuse. So, please, think before you repeat.
