...get out there early and often with your preferred story. Go on as many shows as possible, write as many op-eds as possible, keep pushing, pushing, pushing your own version of events and your own passionate analysis, being sure to blame, blame, blame the other guy -- that way, you plant these "facts" and emotions in your audience.

Sadly, this tactic works very very well. Advertising and propaganda use the same techniques.

Dick and Liz Cheney are nasty, evil human beings (or possibly lizard people, who knows). But they ain't dumb.
