Well, don’t bother. I’ll sling them for you just to show you that I know how YOU think much better than you know how I think.

Answer: I’m fed up with the good intentions (that come from Liberals) that always seem to lead to bad ideas (that also come from Liberals). NOW, You’re getting warm!

Monkey, my guess as to why you voted for con man don has been spelled out pretty clearly. You pretty much ignore it in your response. I’d like to hear your take on my theory. Obviously you won’t agree with it. But I’m interested in exactly how and why you disagree.
I believe you voted for con man don because you believe the nonsense you hear on right-wing media:

Republican voters, being human and therefore credulous and gullible, believe whatever they hear on Fox Propaganda (and Breitbart and the rest of the right-wing media). They support republicans and con man don no matter what they do, because Fox Propaganda tells them republicans and con man don are doing a great job no matter what they do.

And I’ve spelled out why you believe what fox says:

I think that right-wing media is extremely popular because it tells right wingers what they want to hear. It tells them they’re right about everything. It makes them feel good about themselves. It makes them feel strong and smart. It makes them feel like they’re better and stronger and manlier than whiny liberal pansies. That stuff sells. It sells way better than the truth. [/quote]

And by the way, if the MSM (CBS,NBC,ABC,NYT, LAT,CNN, MSNBC and almost every newspaper in the country) can’t get a good message together to counteract the effect of Fox News, then how weak is their message? It’s like watching Jack Reacher (Fox News) facing off against six bad guys in a bar (the MSM). You know how it’s going to end.

As I said in the post above, feel-good propaganda sells way better than the truth. That’s why truthful media are having a hard time counteracting the effect of fox propaganda. A better analogy for Fox propaganda than Jack Reacher is a Svengali. Fox is a Svengali and truthful media are a bunch of nerds with no charisma. The Svengali is not afraid to use emotional manipulation nor is he afraid to use half-truths and innuendo. The nerds have very high ethical standards, and refrain even from half-truths. The audience that the Svengali and the nerds are trying to reach is credulous and gullible. The truth has nothing to do with who the audience will believe. Of course the Svengali wins. It doesn’t matter how many nerds there are.

Maybe the MSM should take a clue from Fox:

Well that would be good for conservatives. If mainstream media take a clue from fox and start broadcasting propaganda, half-truths, and innuendo, then they’ll be no better than fox. Already conservatives don’t trust mainstream media because fox told them not to. If mainstream media go down the road that fox did, people will actually have a reason not to trust the mainstream media, and fox will be as good as anybody else. If that happens, we’re all fucked.
