The late William Shirer (he wrote the "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and was a reporter in Germany just prior to WWII) recounted how he would talk to a "seemingly well educated German" about events in the outside world, based on articles he read in papers that were not generally available to ordinary Germans. The German he would be speaking to only had access to state controlled news, and would look at Mr. Shirer like he had just dropped in from another planet.

Stylin, I think you hit the nail on the head. Both my FIL and his brother are really smart, each hold several patents!! How else can those who are so smart be so gullable??

Media propaganda is everything in politics.

Hollywood, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, PBS, NPR, Time, Warner, Knopf, Random House, Verizon, NYTimes, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Washington Post...

The Leftists own most all of American media.

With 2008, will come more of this:

1. The Internet, including Free Republic (they attempted to silence it with expensive lawsuits despite fair use legislation;
2. Talk Radio (they're already all over Rush, blamed him for OKC, and Air America was attempted as a counter);
3. FoxNews (just-released hit-piece movie OutFoxed);
4. Drudge (they tried with Sid Blumenthal, and ABC The Note was an attempted knock-off);
5. Steyn (new hit-piece just released);
6. Coulter (coming next);
7. Al Jazeera was just cleared from broadcasting in our neighbor to the north, Canada;
8. Media giants are now cross-marketing (Verizon/CBS, Time/Warner/CNN, etc. blitz a Sociailist subject and shove an artificial agenda down our throats without declaring their conflicts of interest, with impunity)

All we have left is William F. Buckley pondering clever debating retorts to this mafia gang-assault streetfight on free speech.

(I will try again)

The Leftists own most all of American media.

With 2008, will come more of this:

1. Crackdowns on the Internet, including Free Republic (they attempted to silence FR with expensive lawsuits despite fair use legislation);
2. Subversion of Right-Wing Talk Radio (they're already all over Rush, blamed him for OKC, and Air America was attempted as a Leftist counter);
3. FoxNews (just-released hit-piece movie OutFoxed);
4. Drudge (they tried to take him out with Sid Blumenthal, and recent ABC The Note was an attempted knock-off);
5. Steyn (new hit-piece just published);
6. Coulter (coming next);
7. Al Jazeera was just cleared for broadcasting in our neighbor to the north, Canada. Contemplate the implications of this when you consider 80% of Canadians live 100 miles or less from the American border;
8. Media giants are now cross-marketing (Verizon/CBS, Time/Warner/CNN, etc. blitz a Sociailist subject and shove an artificial agenda down our throats without declaring their conflicts of interest, with impunity)

All we on the right have is William F. Buckley pondering clever debating retorts to this mafia gang-assault streetfight on free speech.
