The MSM used to be able influence voters with subtle shading or spinning in a way that wasn’t open or obvious. Over time, roughly the last 35 years, the bias became more recognizable, and necessarily became more and more overt as it was less and less effective. This year, the bubble burst, and subtlety and shading are no longer effective. Now the MSM is waging open war on its ideological adversaries with lies, naked hatred and open contempt. The pretense and denial is over, and the MSM is fighting for its survival, hopeful of becoming a kingmaker rather than just an echo chamber for liberal dogma. 2008 is the turning point; America will be either manipulated by a political media that can dictate its beliefs and promote anyone it sees fit into positions of leadership, or the media as we know it will perish.
The DBM/MSM still influences too many sheeple in this country.
For you to think that it no longer does...is folly.
