Some did, that I will grant you. Interesting though how the protests of the illegals ramped up this issue. I wonder why?
Because the liberal MSM thinks this is the wedge to split the GOP coalition apart and deliver victory to the Democrats. The illegal alien protests were very carefully coordinated with the press and the Democratic party's political operatives.
Eisenhower's farewell address warned of a military-industrial complex gaining too much influence; the real threat is the media-political complex (which has milked the nonexistent threat of the "military-industrial complex" for all it was worth and then some).
