The problem, my friends, is the media - the echo chamber
all the FUX news wannabes.
Obama makes a 45 minute speech and the M$M takes a ten second clip out that has little to do with what he was talking about.
And they did it to Kerry, and Gore. Since most people get their news from those little 3 minute snippets on the radio between tunes, that becomes whatever is presented becomes ingrained in the national psyche.
They don't do it to McCain at all, seldom say anything against Bush.
The words that are used to describe the snippets are always most telling. For the Obama snippet we hear things like "big flap in Phoenix" or some such crap. A story on Palin lies is introed with some innocent sounding words like "Could this not be quite true?"

Once this election is over we need to concentrate on getting some radio and satellite outlets. Maybe we need to help Prometheus and freepress.net lead the way.
