The Media Wants To Pick A President For You Because You Aren't Smart Enough (http://www.personalliberty.com/hot-topics/the-media-want-to-pick-a-president-for-you-because-you-aren%E2%80%99t-smart-enough/?eiid= - broken link)




Throughout the 2012 GOP Presidential Primary season a few well-defined media-driven themes have emerged: Ron Paul is a hopeless candidate and Mitt Romney is the definite front-runner. Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich have all had a turn as the anti-Romney in the No. 2 spot. The long primary season has done well to shape each candidate’s public identity from his or her personality, rather than testing the candidates as statesmen with voting records. This tactic isn’t dangerous unless you recall a young, charismatic fellow from Chicago who promised hope and change, provided neither and stormed through his first Presidential bid as a media darling.



There have been no scandals reported about Paul, he has not been pointed out as a crony capitalist and his voting record and his rhetoric parallel one another. The “insiders” write him off as a kook, because his ideas and plans will derail many of theirs. As long as the media and their “insiders” are allowed to manufacture Americans’ worldview, despite the vast wealth of knowledge that is at almost everyone’s fingertips, it will be “insider” picks for President and a bright future for the American political “insider.”

As is easy to tell from the GOP Klown Kar, the media is quite right about 20% of the public.

Bob, who would derail your plans the most, of a fascist socialist utopia?

Herr Gobbles shade is smiling.

The entire advertizing industry is based on fooling people too dumb to realize they are being manipulated with fear and lies. Skepticism is a learned perversion that does not lead to being a contented believer in any product, politician or religion. Trust and faith lead to being contented no matter what happens.

Well, look at the posts in this forum........Not to mention we're one of the most developed countries with a large portion of the populace still clinging to bronze age fables.

The media has already fooled most of the liberals so that leaves them to go after the right wingers.
