Well mr smith there's media and then there's "media". You may no longer be able to separate the wheat from the chaff due to years of conditioning but the folks at Fox and the bloviators like limbaugh et al have not been telling you the truth for decades now. The disinformation spewed out to so many millions of my fellow Americans by the massive right wing media machine has so confused and angered the viewers/listeners that like you the truth is a foreign concept now. Like a powerful and destructive drug the siren call of right wing media lures you back day after day for more reinforcement, another hit of the lies that sooth your latent need to look down on, hate and fear someone outside your close group of acquaintances. You have been poisoned by disinformation mr smith. The antidote is to shut off the radio and TV for at least a month until the irritation subsides and rational, reasoned thinking resumes. The purpose of propaganda is to make you react emotionally and negatively.
