“The media–with their overtly biased article; their subtly slanted articles; their fauxtography; their uncritical playback of all the enemy’s talking points, while simultaneously angrily critiquing everything our own administration says–has become the primary source shaping people’s perceptions around the world.

That the perceptions they are shaping have little to do with reality is a matter of complete indifference to them..”

Only a tiny fraction of us are political junkies who crave every kernel of info. Most of our fellow citizens rely on the media for information, so we need to counteract the leftwing propaganda with some home truths. Last night I went round the radio dial at the half hour news. Every station repeated the lie that the NIE report stated the war in Iraq caused an increase in terrorism. It was almost a joke.

We've degenerated to the point where we need commercials to convince people that responding to those whom would do the U.S. harm is a good cause. I guess we can thank Jennifer Loven and her ilk.
