Interesting article from Mark Halperin in “Time”. I’m always fascinated by how the media is now in “silo’s” of opinion instead of dealing in a fact base environment.
But with Corporations controling the media and the general breakdown in competence across American society,why should I be surprised?
Here is an excerpt. Link to full story at the bottom:
The late, longtime New Yorker critic Pauline Kael was said to have expressed confusion over Richard Nixon’s landslide re-election in 1972 — because no one she knew had voted for him. To borrow that notion, conservatives today imagine that everyone views the current occupant of the White House as they do: Barack Obama is the worst President ever. Conventional wisdom posits that this potent right-wing, anti-Obama sentiment will diminish the President’s power — enough for Republicans to vanquish Democrats in November, regain control of Congress and weaken the incumbent for 2012.
But this myopia has been created within an electronic cocoon of Fox News, talk radio, conservative websites and rhetoric from Republican leaders, all passionately reinforcing the message that the Obama Administration is disastrous on a historic scale. It’s a message that is being transported as gamely by rank-and-file Republicans as it is by erudite conservative columnists with national readerships.
