3. They fall for it because |
|
it is the main narrative on the media. You can't turn on TV without hearing "Oh, the deficit is killing us! It's all entitlements and people that won't work!"

4. Yeah, I guess, but how many times can you be lied to before you figure it out? |
|
Anyway, if that's how people really are, then only a return to the Fairness Doctrine -- which MANY here at DU oppose -- or a law stating that lying in the media is the equivalent of perjury -- which even MORE here seem to be against -- can possibly save us.
If the average American can't recognize a lie and we can't stop the right from lying ...
Then we have lost.
Utterly. Completely. Without the slightest hope.

can't recognize a lie because the lie has been pounded into them thousands of times. It is the media. The media was one-sided under Bush. I am shocked at how more one-sided it has become since Bush.
