This is why propaganda works, the common and incorrect assumption that you're being reasonable by taking a position "somewhere in the middle". So all you need to do to shift opinion is to spin the most unlikely crap and many will say, "Now wait a minute, the truth probably lies somewhere between the extremes...." - except that one side isn't extreme at all.
