Answer:

It means that people have heard it and told it so much despite it being untrue whether they knew it or not. This caused it to become so widespread, that people believe and treat the lie as if it was true. This phenomenon can be an outcome of gossip, which can ruin somebody's reputation if that turns out to be the case.
