Turth about advertising: What you hear 1st sticks

[uppityperson]

For many people it doesn't matter if later they hear that what they heard first was wrong, 1st impression counts. This works for material goods and for political goods. If it hits you emotionally first, later intellectual corrections never quite make up, for many people anyway. This makes for an easy way to get products sold, and an easy way to never have media "corrections" get quite the impact.
