Nov. 10, 2006 -- Control of the narrative is what the right wing media do so well. We continue to get news story selection and slant that pushes the latest Republican National Committee handout that the media editors/producers have received.
Today the media were selling that the Dems won because they ran as Dem candidates folks who were really conservative Republicans. Seems that the Media are shocked to find out that the Democratic Party includes moderates, fiscal conservatives, war veterans, folks against abortion, gun owners, hunters, and a lot of voters who put family values ahead of all other issues. Did the media notice that the Democrats got one-third of the evangelical vote?
The media are also trying to sell the GOP's idea that Democratic party members will lose all future elections if they do things like oversight that reveals Bush and company's errors, corruption and incompetence (God forbid hearings develop proof of Bush law breaking and that leads to an impeachment resolution), or pass any of those laws that might help the non-rich or will result in a better planet being passed to our grandchildren.
There was even one GOP cheerleader who saw a positive result for the GOP because Santorum is now available for a seat on the Supreme Court! Another GOP cheerleader compared the result to 1986 and that election's loss of eight Senate seats by the GOP (to a 55-45 Dem majority) and a result in the House of a 258 Dems to 177 GOPers.
