Reply #5: No reality for us [View All]

[get the red out]

I was listening to a local sports talk show the other night and in between the appropriate discussion of the university football team's young receiver core, and the new basketball recruits, the "torture" talking points slipped in. The host brought up the completely fake argument "which would you rather have done to you, waterboarding by the US or be beheaded by Al Qaida"?

We get to have those doses of fantasy given to use in passing through every facet of the media, but we never get the unpleasant dose of the truth in any mainstream outlet with the force needed to shake us into the real world. This is how the right works, out of sight out of mind with the truth, and play the broken record of lies in every venue, even those supposed to have nothing to do with politics. Spread the convenient lie on the AM Station through the syndicates shows and the local sports guy repeats during a sports discussion without missing a beat.
