If conservatives put out phony "talking points" and tried to attribute it to dems, the press would catch it.
The MSM isn't going to trumpet something that makes dems look silly, or selfish, or base. Nope, that they would stop. But us? We're the "other". And it's easy to do it do the "other".
The MSM wants sooooooo bad for us act like the crazy stereotype of us that they can so easily hate. And why? What's in it for them? If the stereotype's not true, then they would be jerks. They have a lot to defend. And their subconscious knows it.
The MSM will do whatever it takes to make us "deserve" the unfairness they hand out. The alternative -- that they're (the MSM) narrow minded, biased, jerks is worth every defense mechanism they can muster. So, if presented with information that feeds their serf serving image, they jump on it. It's why all the stories that trash a political group and later turn out to be lies are against us. Germans did the same thing to Jews before WWII. You can't trash a group without trying to make it look like they deserve it. It's a creepy tradition. One the New York Times and others should avoid.
Right on post there, GOPJ.
