vw– I'm thinking that this style will become less and less effective as more people gain access to fact-checking sites and realize they are being snowed by clever political operatives. Its also good to see more and more of the media taking on this role during election years. Maybe after being revealed publicly as bald-faced liars– or losing at the polls—these politicians will curb their spinning.

If people have had enough of talk radio, they should complain about the content to the station and its sponsors. The problem is that millions will listen to Rush and Sean, but how many will fact check what they are being sold by their idols? I remember when Limbaugh was really just a freaky phenomenon— a joke really. People thought anyone who listened to him had gone off the deep end.

there is a new movie out – a bio on Lee Atwater, founder of the type of destructive politics that dominated for 20 years.
What has it brought us?
Inferior politicians who are about stuffing their pockets then the public good, no accountability, a shallow press corps., no discourse what so ever, a failed and incompetent president and a country is serious trouble.
Most people hate this style of politics but, it's all that is ever presented to us, the voters. So we werre left with trying to decide between 2 bads without adequate info.
The rise of blogs have helped alot because they not only, with the activism, forced the press to be stop being lapdogs, but, you have alot of access to alot of non partisan thoughtful articles and information.
It seems the only ones hanging desperately to the partisanship and smears are those of the far right. Even regular republicans are sick of it.
