Half truths or half lies-Lot's of this floating around GC of late.
Why should Scary Kerry supporters have all the "Fun with Facts"? What is, is. Or is it? What it is, is SPIN.
(HAD to get my Clinton dig in)
I think many are focusing on the wrong meaning behind the e-mail. I was MOST interested in the TIME ALLOTMENTS. Now THOSE are rather difficult to argue since they are historical records. My favorites are the Sillary comparison and Florida vote count.
Anyway-propaganda is flying around GC like flies around..well YOU know. Lot's of political BS lately...
The content holds two major points-IMHO
As discussed on other threads, "news formats" are increasingly
editorializing. The media, which IS mostly liberal, has crossed the line as they try to shape opinion rather than report events.
AND-"Rome wasn't built in a day." We are bombarded (by the media) with heartbreaking tales of death and destruction. We have "bad news" streaming 24-7. It makes every day loom larger and longer. This wasn't the case prior to the Gulf War.
In a way, our resolve as a nation is being tested much harder than it was in the past.
I honestly wonder if we will ever see a REAL, DEFINABLE end to this war. I am willing to give Bush the time he needs because I believe this is every bit as important and ANY war we have fought.
