Our Newspaper (The Durango Herald) is a terrible Lib Rag. One year before a general election they did a “report card” type editorial with all their recommendations and endorsements on how to vote.
I called and spoke to the Editor and told him I really appreciated his saving me a lot of time doing research on the candidates and issues and that I was going to vote just the opposite of what he endorsed. Boy, he got hot.
Well done—you have just discovered the rule of opposites.
When you read a mass media news story imagine if the exact opposite were true. _That_ will give you a good idea of what _really_ happened.
