It's worth noting that during the presidency of George HW Bush I believe, one of his advisors noted that while a lie can initially be taken as fact by some 90%, only 10% of those will find out later that they were in fact lies. the result? Sometimes it's more effecitve to lie because the initial misinformation spreads much quicker and broader than the subsequent "re-information". This is why it has been a policy in the Republican party mantle ever since.
There is one caveat however. If someone publically calls them out on their bullshit, they get LIVID, mainly because their initial misinformation spread is snuffed out before it can take root. That is when they go on to blame said caller, claiming they do not have the right to do that, or claiming media bias.
You haven't noticed why conservatives are a lot more angrier then their bullshit is called out at the time of spewing it rather than in much later clarification? This is why. You have to attack bullshit at the root before it spreads misinformation.
