Politicians have learned to take advantage of this. They'll get in front of a camera and spout an outlandish lie and later when caught out have one of their staff declare the boss accidentally misspoke. Meanwhile the lie was out there and many people only heard the lie and not the feeble retraction. I recall some host on MSNBC saying, during the 2012 election cycle, that Sarah Palin is trailer trash. Completely false and never retracted, but got away with it.
