Even though Graham Majin is from Bournemouth, I am still inclined to believe what he has written. They are some bad eggs involved with Russia Gate, and it isn't just Putin or Trump. We will just have to accept out differences on the matter. No point arguing about it imho.

In the previous posts I made, that you cannot understand, I was trying to draw your attention to one of the links I posted. Here it is again. A Catastrophic Media Failure, Trump and the Illusion of Truth. PrePub Graham Majin.pdf (bournemouth.ac.uk) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A catastrophic media failure? Russiagate, Trump and the illusion of truth: The dangers of innuendo and narrative repetition. Graham Majin. Abstract The journalistic coverage of Russiagate, between 2017 and March 2019, has been described as ‘a catastrophic media failure’. Drawing on political and social psychology, this article seeks to enrich, and refresh, the familiar journalistic concepts of agendasetting, framing and priming by combining them under the heading of the ‘news narrative’. Using this interdisciplinary approach to media effects theory, Russiagate is considered in terms of the Illusory Truth Effect and the Innuendo Effect. These effects hypothesise that the more audiences are exposed to information, the more likely they are to believe it – even when they are told that the information is unreliable. As a specific example, we focus on the stance taken by BBC News – which has an obligation to journalistic impartiality. We ask what implications arise from this analysis with regard to audience trust. Keywords Agenda-setting, BBC, fake news, framing, illusory truth effect, innuendo, media effects, news narrative, priming, pseudo-facts, psychology, Russiagate, Trump. “It was Napoleon, I believe, who said that there is only one figure in rhetoric of serious importance, namely, repetition. The thing affirmed comes by repetition to fix itself in the mind in such a way that it is accepted in the end as a demonstrated truth.” Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd. 1896, 2001. and the article continues on the link above. let me know if you cannot see it.
