2. Lies...
The rich guy says, "they don't know why they're protesting" but the TV reporter clearly says, 'they don't REALLY SEEM to know why they are protesting". She's obviously thinking for herself.

:sarcasm:

6. Never underestimate the power of mindless "talking points".

The constant pound-poumd-pounding of "Well, they've got a point... probably, but I wish
they'd let the rest of us know what it is." is an easy mindless "reaction" (in this case... as
in "reactionary") for folks who aren't really paying attention to the real world around them.
.
.
.
I heard THIS one yesterday from someone who is otherwise a fairly nice person (obviously
another "talking point reaction"):
.
"Don't any of those people have JOBS?!?!?"
.
.
A mindset that was EASILY changed (and that change graciously accepted by the person
who voiced that drivel).
.
.
.
My theory (and I think I just coined this) is that the media has become ruled by its "id".
.
RW media as in "rabid".
.
So-called "liberal" media as in "insidious idiocy (making it perhaps twice as bad -- ruled
by its "id-id").
.
.
.
Sorry -- maybe I've just had too much time to think lately.
