Hi, everyone.
Could you tell me in what context the following sentence can be used?
Never believe anything untill it's officially denied.
Thanks!
It doesn't make sense because once it's denied you can't believe whatever it is. I think you meant Believe everything until it is denied.

It's a joke. The idea is that you hear about bad things the government does, for example, but you don't know whether to believe them or not. If the government officially denies them, that means they were scared enough to issue a lie, and so they are true.
