“Lincoln’s voice was, when he first began speaking, shrill, squeaking, piping, unpleasant; his general look, his form, his pose, the color of his flesh, wrinkled and dry, his sensitiveness, and his momentary diffidence, everything seemed to be against him, but he soon recovered.”
When Lincoln ran, there was no TV and no internet.
Today, unfortunately, a lot of superficial things matter, as much as content, like it or not. Not to mention whose side the MSM is on.
No, but a whole lot of people sure heard him speak anyway.
I thought the msm was dead?? Was the "dinosaur" media? Was ineffectual at best? Was losing readers/listeners? Was unprofessional and totally biased? Was failing?
Why in the world does the "side" on which the msm sits matter?
