Ever wondered how and why our politicians get away with repeating lie after lie … after lie after lie? Well, it seems that you weren’t the only one with such curiosities, and the University of Michigan wanted to know the truth behind the “persistent lie”. Social psychologist Norbert Schwarz, and his team, set out to prove if persistent lies can override true, yet underused and understated, facts. What they found out is exactly my worst nightmare.
