Nope, not at all. Every once in a while the partisan media shills have to drop a half-hearted and/or heavily qualified bit of fact to make their lies seem palatable. Intermittent reinforcement is the hardest to beat.
And of course, there are also actual journalists out there who are gainfully employed (mostly on Fox News, but also on talk radio and the WWW) who don’t just spin and shill for the Demwits.
That was true before this historic election, but the mood of the country has changed. The politicians are trying to figure out what's going on.
There is a real and tangible change happening. The tea party isn't going away. It's a real movement, not astroturf. The awareness level on the people is off the charts. I don't believe that's going to change just because it's past Nov 2.
We're treading in a new territory, and we can't predict the outcome based on past performances.
This is an intriguing time participating in politics.
