That is the case with almost all of the news! As much as I read here that the MSM is not listened to anymore, the real people in my life still believe everything they say.

It's very difficult, if not impossible, to have your say- and with dignity- if you are surrounded by screaming Dems.
I have starting timing them, on their rants to me. Mostly, they assume that I agree with them unless I speak up.
Then I usually have to insist- oh, yes, INSIST, that they calmly allow me to tell them what I think, to be fair-the magic word.
Then I love to finish early, reminding them I didn't take up as much time as they did. Either they are shocked into respecting you or you need different friends.
It's the nature of propaganda to make individuals believe they are in a permanent, shameful minority.
But don't forget it is we who are gaining all across the board: governorships, Presidency, Congress. And now we have new media outlets.
Persistence, Politeness, and Respect is Condi's personal code, she wrote. PPR.
Courage! as Rush would say.
There will be a quiz on this stuff after the weekend :)
(Ahem) Something very interesting has been going on, something that seems to be happening way below the radar. And it is something that will could very well have a monumental impact on the future of political discourse in this country. No joke.
Where do you think most voters get the bulk of their news? I'll tell you where: Most casual voters get the bulk of their news in their cars, usually during the commute back and forth to work, from those "top-of-the-hour" newscasts that invade our senses every day, whether we listen to rock stations, oldies stations, talk radio, sports talk, whatever.... Many other people get their news AT work from the "soft rock" radio that's piped into the office.
Well, HERE is some good news indeed (from nearly a year ago - - like I said, "below the radar"). And it is just the tip of the iceberg. My understanding is that things are progressing quite nicely as ABC, CBS, and NPR are finding themselves thrown out into the street, one station at a time as their contracts expire.
