Just what can they tell the truth about anymore?
The 0bama regime?
The economy?
Illegal immigration?
The “Arab Spring” and Islam in general?
So they've escaped into their fantasy world where they heroically defend all that is “good” - as defined according to their own peculiar reckoning - against those evil conservatives who dare to persist in dwelling on facts and realities.
That’s kind of the fantastic unintended consequence of demanding and getting your own state-run media: your base can’t fight because they’re unaware that there IS a fight.
Silver lining, I guess.... although it cuts both ways. I was reading the other day about how local NOLA newspeople were shocked at how many residents were planning not evac but hurricane parties right before Katrina hit.
