I still remember 2012, when liberals honestly believed that Sarah Palin said, “I can see Russia from my house!” It was actually Tina Fey on SNL

Yes, good example. Worse, it wasn't just liberals. Can't count how many times I heard it from the apolitical types, and too often as well, Republicans. It was a particularly stubborn meme that few were willing to give up on even when given the facts. It was a twofer for the tellers; they loved coming across as informed while getting a big laugh to boot.

And when you corrected them, almost everyone of them - TO A “T” - would reply with, “Well she said something stupid, like that.”

They LITERALLY ignored the facts and brushed them away with an off-hand remark that justified not only the FAKE NEWS of Tina Fey, but also their delusional BELIEF of that FAKE NEWS!

THAT was the full on start of the FAKE NEWS aimed at the Republicans and at Conservatives!!
