* Discussed in [[Adolf Hitler]]'s 1925 book ''[[Mein Kampf]]'', where he mentions the use of [[Appeal to Audacity|a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".]] Hitler believed this "[[Big Lie]]" was used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in [[World War I]] on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist and anti-Semitic political leader in the Weimar Republic. He, Joseph Goebbels and the Nazis would later use their ''own'' Big Lie to turn long-standing anti-Semitism into mass murder with the narrative of an innocent, besieged Germany striking back at an "international Jewry", which was blamed for World War I.
* ''[[The Aeneid]]'' was in part written to support the rule of Augustus, who had recently become the supreme power in [[Ancient Rome]].

* The Hamas-sponsored children's talk show ''[[Tomorrow's Pioneers]]'' could be summed up as a twisted antisemitic, anti-Western, Islamist version of ''[[Sesame Street]]'', advocating violence to impressionable Palestinian children. Not all Palestinian parents bought into it though, as some felt it was needlessly crossing the line in their struggle for independence from Israel.
