The White House. And Michael Jackson. And many more whose names resemble names of famous people, living or dead.

Did Will Smith ever show up? I remember when conspiracy theorists were considered crackpots. Now we call them Republicans.

This shit is going to continue. The Conservative Media doesn't give a damn whether something's factual or not - hell, you can safely bet they know it's crap. Their goal is make it flashy, repeat it out the ass and by the time it's caught, they're already miles down the road with three or four bullshit stories since then.

And most importantly, it's what their audience WANTS to hear and believe. That hasn't shit to do with facts.

Rachel Maddow is to be admired for exposing this parallel culture many of us know and anticipate. It is an interesting metaphor to classify the wide open lies as simple corrections.

What is striking is what lingers in everyones mind news argued in ways that don’t seem important if the media makes a huge error that slams to ruin character or reputation.

However the news medium continues relentlessly in defiance with abandon for honesty and integrity informing the public. Yet many in main stream media discuss with a definite penetrating approximation clearly talk about the low information society they created without flinching.

Imagine less responsive legislation that is written continuously to preclude the public interest or benefit that is “corrected” with amendments, ear marks, no fair debate recklessly that deride prosperity for we the people are not reported, yet well known in Journalist circles…

Propaganda works - if you continue telling lies agan and agin and again, in the end it wil do a lot of damage and many wil belive it.. Dr Gobbels made it ino a maxime he followed to the end
