How can anyone blame the public, when the MSM keeps tell them, “Both sides do it.”
The eventual death of representative democracy will be laid at the feet of our “Fourth Estate,” which acts more like a “Fifth Column” for corporations and the rich and powerful.
Why we’re doomed, part 2 (from Digby)
It’s all that home-schooling.
After the elections, it might be fun if the president occasionally interrupts a press briefing unannounced to refute a conspicuous FOX lie. And calls the network out directly for .. not misinformation.. but a deliberate outright lie. The message of a lame-duck president for two years might start to cause some people to doubt FOX – and question for themselves what objective reality is.
One of the things that bother me is seeing the Democrat candidates who are distancing themselves from Obama in order to increase their chances to get elected. Sorta like the Peter denying Christ thing..” I don’t know the guy”. To me, seeing a quality like that in a candidate is discouraging. It shows me that the Democrats are fragmented and they lack party cohesion. I get a sense that it’s an every man for himself mentality that’s being projected, and people sense that as a weakness. I think a lot of people also subconsciously override the importance of issues and choose a candidate solely their perception of them being a winner. They want to be partakers in a victory no matter what the cost.
