10. Why do people not see through the obvious propaganda, malaise, why are people so intent on

letting the media decide for them?

Watching CNN now and are returning to the demonization of same one person. New PTH (glances to her left to read the script)......"A Hamas spokesperson makes controversial remarks about claiming Jews use Christian blood to make Matza balls?", tilting tone of voice to show disapproval, "coming up after commercial we will play the video....(again and again and again....)

Cut to photo of their target, complete with text: "Blood Libel Charge", in big block letters, as camera zooms on another photo of the doomed target.

Not bad, not bad.....
