While it's true that the "Mainstream" Media isn't as dominant as it used to be, it still has great power. This election is proof.

It also proves that more then half the electorate are ignorant dumb shmucks, who can be swayed by a propagandist media.

"It also proves that more then half the electorate are ignorant dumb shmucks, who can be swayed by a propagandist media."

To paraphrase perhaps my least favorite president, "I feel your rage."

The increasingly slanted media coverage of politics and the gullibility of the electorate is a sad state of affairs indeed.

However, I've reserved most of my anger for the GOP itself.

They lost this election, and in doing so have imperiled my country.

And what pi**es me off is that it didn't have to be that way.

They knew and know the MSM is not on their side, yet they try to cozy up to them.

The GOP is well aware that no matter what they do, it'll be painted in the press as "mean", "draconian", even "bigoted." Yet they reply with mealy-mouthed responses like "No we're not...really."

And worst of all, they know the Democrats are liars, cheats and Stalinists, yet the GOP went out of its way for the last 10 years to "play nice."

I'd better stop.

I'm low on blood pressure pills.
