With enough effort and priming you can trick _people_ in to believing things which are clearly untrue.
I think that's overstatement. The most I can find is references to making people more credulous to obscure claims ("Basketball became an Olympic discipline in 1925.") whose truth they couldn't easily discover (especially pre-Internet) [1].
There are other where a person is confronted by shills making claims and otherwise experiences more manipulation than just being exposed to text. But that seems of a different category.
