So what did we learn from this? I too thought this was a good approach - spread the word, right? The truth shall set us free. But, in hindsight, because conservatives only "trust" - ie enjoy hearing their own opinions validated and writ large - news sources that cater to that side of the aisle, and Dems equally - we all just hear what we want to. The Problem? Lack of impartial, probing journalism. The terms media and whore come to mind. The Culprit? Rupert Murdoch? (Though, in his defense, I hear that new show Kitchen Confidential is really quite good.) The answer? Anyone?

there is definitely probing impartial journalism but it is always spun as quackery and dismissed; allegations are rarely dignified with responses. beautiful instances of such things happening do occur and with what great joy do we behold them, all the while ignorantly free of that set of responsibilities...
every voter has got to get off the train somewhere and politics seems to deal largely with not bringing up or allowing to come to light (or mind) who precisely gets screwed by whatever decision is being made- multiply that by how much power those who have been writ off have to challenge the enaction of that policy and you get some sadistic political risk factor index I suppose. In a combined nonpartisan way, the disenfranchised is the entire developing world, at the expense of whom any and all competition in this country is fundamentally able to take place.
