You'd be surprised. For example, there was a terror attack in London shortly before the recent UK elections, which our Labour party responded to by spreading a bunch of lies that tried to blame the ruling Tories for the attack. One of our legal bloggers then attacked the Tories as the liars for correctly debunking those claims, backed it up with a blog post that showed those Labour claims were false for exactly the reasons claimed - but crucially, without tying the errors it pointed out to any claims made by anyone but the Tories - and managed to successfully pass it off as proof the Tories were the lying liars. (His objection was that the Tory claims were misleading because they didn't mention that the courts could have given the Parole Board the oversight which Labour falsely claimed they had anyway and failed to exercise by handing down a kind of sentence that Labour falsely accused the Tories of stopping them from handing down. Except carefully worded to make it sound like the Tory claims and only those claims were complete lies.)
