I believe it was John Dewey who said, "you will sooner pry a miser from his hoard than ween a man of his most cherished beliefs." My variation is Herstein's First Law: Never underestimate human capacity for denial. And so the lies at Fox will continue unabated, because to stop now, to yield to the reality-based community, would undermine their entire raison d'etre, and drive away the base that is only interested in having the lies they want to believe repeated to them.
