Default (OT) The fox hunt

America was founded on the principles of choices. Why should this not
apply to our news outlets?


In other words, you deliberately choose a news source that is biased
towards your own views, so as to not be faced with disagreeable facts.
This is called "spin." Your news source is spin. You then claim that
everything & everybody that disagrees with you is spin.

Does this sound smart to anybody but Dave?

Anymore, we accept non-stop spin and editorializing as news.


It's the Age of MacLuhan, Part 2... *everything* is advartising.

Advertising is fine when you're choosing between Coke or Pepsi, but in
choosing political leaders it is a bit more destructive.

The issue here is that Dave (and his fascist whacko pals) are trying to
foist their advertising on us and insist that it's true. But it doesn't
work in real life, and while they admit it's all fantasy, they insist
that everyone must dance to the tune. The question is how long democracy
can survive under this assault. Maybe not even until November...
