Could we really be turning our backs on the vaunted monolith?
Yes, that is just what is happening. We are tending to ignore the media.
And the effect on the GOPe is equally alarming. They have lost their hold on the voters.
Remember when they would offer up a candidate and we would grumble and hold our nose?
Those days are quickly slipping by.
They can play the poll game and wax eloquent about how crafty the media is and they can ignore the candidates that the people really prefer, but they have lost their hold.
They just don't realize it fully yet.
I have felt the same way. Everyone (at least conservatives) knows the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and either tunes out what they say or its significance is just not important because we know what filter it’s coming through. To help this trend, for the last two years, but especially but in the last half year, the MSM has shown its unhinged side more and more. They don’t even try to hide their bias. I watch none of them any longer. Wife and I get all our news on the net. Cable is on its way out and I’m hoping that helps some as well.
