Assume people make false public accusations about you. Many observers will think less of you if they believe, but no legal action is threatened. How important is it to publicly respond with denials & rebuttals, & how does that depend on the status of the accuser?
Don't rebut at all, under most circumstances. Ride out the news cycle. PR 101.
Does that advice have a supporting analysis? It may seem counterintuitive to many.
I don't know of any empirical analyses, but I hang out with PR & marketing people, and they usually advise silence/'no comment' in the face of accusations. The human impulse to apologize gets many in deeper trouble, given modern media, allegedly.
Depends if the accusation will leave a mark. If trivial, ignore. If it is damaging beyond just your ego, unleash fire & fury until your rebuttal matches the accusation in search results. Even if punching down.
In principle, yes. But I've never seen that work if the accusation is about political incorrectness. It's simply impossible to get the rebuttal repeated by enough people to counter-act the initial slander, given the ideological bias in social media.
Trump does this like no other I've seen but for him it's easy since there usually isn't any substance to the accusations against him. The REAL Night King of riding things out was William Jefferson Clinton...brother Bill could press forward even when accusations were bona fide!pic.twitter.com/qFcSuF842v
