Repetition cannot create TRUTH,
but repetition can create BELIEF.
Repeating lies, even to debunk them, can convince more people to believe the lies.
Please do NOT repeat lies, in your headlines, in your ledes, and especially not as the only text in your social media posts.

To refute lies:
Always LEAD WITH THE TRUTH, not the lies.
DO **NOT** put the lies FIRST in your tweets, headlines, and/or articles.
Giving lies primacy, gives them validity.
Give truth primacy, not lies.

...
Hard to treat a person as a normal candidate when one of his main positions is undermining democracy."

“The mainstream press (the reality-based press, to distinguish them from the right-wing press) should focus on what's good for citizens and not the horse race aspect of the midterms, and they should call out lies clearly.”
