blue bits. red rocks.

These excerpts are just tiny examples of a bigger trend plaguing our nation’s media-driven political and economic debate - a trend that should trouble everyone, regardless of your political affiliation, or even how you feel about specific issues like health care or gas prices. We are now living in a world whereby objective, undebatable facts are increasingly not just spun, but are actually ridiculed when they get in the way of the political and business Establishment’s euphemistically termed “profit-maximizing” goals. This isn’t limited to Fox News, it is (with the exception of a few media venues) everywhere - and the mass psychological effects are devastating. David Sirota
