“It is a fact increasingly manifest that
presentation of real news has sharpened the minds and the judgment of men and women
everywhere in these days of real public discussion. We Americans begin to know
the difference between the truth on the one side and the falsehood on the
other, no matter how often the falsehood is iterated and reiterated. Repetition
does not transform a lie into a truth.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt, Radio Address to the New York Herald Tribune Forum (October 26,
1939)
Let’s hope that FDR’s confidence holds true in this
campaign, too.
