How do the grocery store tabloids play into the wing nut mentality
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 05:09 PM by Mountainman
You wait in line to check out your groceries and you see a bunch tabloids telling you that those in Hollywood are divorcing or playing around or are caught in a lesbian relationship or that Bill Clinton has a new girl friend.

Then you here 24/7 that Hollywood is immoral and puts out and immoral product and that Bill Clinton is to blame for everything.

If you don't have the ability to discern truth from bull shit, shit from shinola, then you get brain washed into being a voting robot for the right wing.

1. I thought you could read a lot into the...
"Saddam and Osama Get Married" story line.

2. Hey! Don't knock the tabloids!
Not all of it is trash. The Weekly World News cracked the story that Cheney is really a robot.

5. Obviously not much since the tabloids busted open Rush's drug problem
before the msm. He's still on air complaining about having to abide by the same laws as the 'scumbags' he disparages and never lost any market share.
