Interesting article on how easy it is to fool people, especially when they want to believe.

An example (among others) of the role of the mass media in Obama's election and re-election.

Others who have written on this phenomenon: LeBon, Mark Twain, Mencken, etc.

Of course, they all wrote without the benefits of Objectivist epistemology (and psycho-epistemology)

which can shield us from being deluded... :rolleyes:
