"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Tesla Model S is a sedan and KFC sells burgers, if you say otherwise you're a semantic nazi

I think to most people "burger" implies a ground beef patty, and a non-beef sandwich can only be a burger in a metaphorical sense.

This seems to be a difference between US and UK English.

"Chicken Burger" is a reasonably cromulent expression in the UK, but it would always be a "Chicken Sandwich" on the other side of the Atlantic.

Also, "Turkey Burger" has some currency, although that might have just been an extensive marketing campaign trying to convince Americans to swap ground beef for ground turkey.

It's more acceptable to call something a burger if the meat is ground.
