All Accusations are False

- Good evening dwarves, gnomes and folks! Today we have the admirable and distinguished Professor Ambjoern Svinhufvud with us. What is your response to all these outrageous accusations of yesterday?
- Well, ahh, of course they are all false! There is nothing at all true in them! The fantasies of mad men!
- Nothing?
- None whatsoever! I will explain so you all, dwarves, gnomes and folks will understand what has happened.
- We are all ears!
- Well, to begin with we have the photographic evidence. On my left, right behind my, we see the Santa escaping over the rooftops. We also have him in custody and he has given us his full confession. The second you can find on my right, which is the fake Santa that we caught escaping right outside the shopping centre. He has also given his full confession and also given us the names of the fake Santas that died in the attack. There were three of them. We also secured the remains of the truck. The truck contain evedence that point to certain group of collaborators. But that's classified for now!
- Oh, that is impressing Professor. But still, it does not really explain away the accusations from Duodenum and this Xhantar character.
- No you're quite right. If you look up to the screen in the middle, that's the big one, I will tell you something about disinformation. There they are, all four of them,... all of the scumbags!
- Yes I can see that...
- Take the old saying: "... where there is smoke, there is fire!" If you say something which is completely false, it will plant a feeling of doubt towards your person among people. That's because your opponent use a rhetoric trick, undermining your ethos; that is your credibility. In the heads of people there will always be doubt about your honesty. But you have to expose an explanation that is logically consistent. People have to believe that is was possible for you to cheat on the public. That brings us to the final part of the rhetoric triad; pathos... you convince people that the accused is guilty beyond doubt and then you hang him, metaphorically speaking.
- It is a very interesting story, but I don't understand what it has to...
- Don't be stupid! It's obvious! I made those charlatans over at Gnomevision loose face and now they are coming after me to save that bastard Anthrax... and he is where he belong... in the luny bin...
- Oh! On the contrary, we have a fresh report here that says that Professor Anthrax was released from the psychiatric facility where he was held the last few days...
- I'll be damned... he talked his way out of that one too... that son of a bitch...
- Does that make you feel unsafe?
- Bahh, me unsafe... but I'll surely will consult my lawyer. That Anthrax... he is utterly mad and capable of anything!
- Well that's all dwarves, gnomes and folks; a very, very good night to you!
