Hey Mr. Eastman, Donald Trump will completely respect you when you're sent to prison for sucking up to him.

There's still time to smooch his backside some more.

Repetition cannot create TRUTH,
but repetition can create BELIEF.

Repeating #lies, even with the purpose of debunking them, can convince more people to believe the lies.

Please do NOT repeat lies, in your headlines, in your ledes, and especially not as the only text in your social media posts.

Instead, state the truth... REPEATEDLY.

"the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true...

the more something is repeated, the more familiar and fluent it feels whether it is misinformation or fact."

See thread about the “Illusory Truth Effect” and why it is so important NOT to repeat lies on social media (or elsewhere), even with the intention of debunking them:
