Propaganda Lesson 3

It’s helpful to say true things while you’re putting over your distortions, because people won’t believe you if they catch you lying. So slant everything, but not so steeply that it falls over; half-truth well-spun can balance like a top.

But tenacity beats veracity. If you are plainly lying through your teeth, do it as much as you can. Whee, what fun!
