You asked:

Do you really believe the LSM is as effective in forcing public opinion as they were during Starr's time?

My answer: YES. I present to you as Exhibit A the re-election of Barack Obama in 2012. Case closed. The amount of rampant stupidity, apathy, and ignorance in America these days is staggering.

Remember, several million of those voters were dead.

But I can see you have a lot of respect for the media's powers of persuasion still. I think a good portion of the media's witchcraft curse is in the process of being dispelled to a large extent. Hopefully, folks will begin to come out of their stupors this very year.

WHAT IS THE CATCH.
SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
THESES HEARING FOR WHAT ELSE?
SOME VERY BAD DEAL IS IN THE WORKS.

Yep, interesting. I would think Drudge would have it and the networks would refrain from reporting this.

When do they start?

[KC Burke]

Edmund Burke in writing about how civilizations are suddenly saved: “A common soldier, a child, a girl at the door of an inn, have changed the face of fortune, and almost of Nature.”

The common soldier was Arnold of Winkelried who saved the Swiss confedracy against the Austrian empire by flinging himself on the pikes and spears that the Swiss could not break through. If Gowdy is really set on giving it his all and not holding his future political viability too high, he has just the spirit to make this the drama that media can’t avoid even when it takes down their “chosen One.”

— I hope he’s prepared to fall on his sword because that’s what it will take. The enemy is brutal.

Maybe I’ll get back a smidgeon of faith in our public “servants”.
