Ok, I Cry Uncle - but 2 Can and Must Play The Game

[Sugarcoated]

I think I am finally just too sickened anymore by most of the cable news shows to watch (I know many here have tried to tell us, but we have to get there on our own). The only ones worth a shit are Keith, and, at one time, Chris Matthews. Now he has some sick agenda that I'm tired of trying to figure out. I'm done. But, I've realized something. There has to be some similar Democrat-type shows besides Olberman or we're just gonna keep getting swift boated by these idiots. If we don't fight back or start pounding the RW's voluminous mistakes in a similar way and on the same scale, we're gonna lose on public perception.

Example: My younger bro and his wife, not really that political, but watches all the CNBC shows. My brother has always had the 'coke and pepsi' attitude about the two party's. Of course he thinks Duhbya and this breed of 'thugs are corrupt and an utter joke. Yet, when he hears Chris Matthews and the rest of them, night after night after night, hammering us and taking every 'thug talking point, spin, smear, and not hearing much in the way of rebuttal, no matter how bad he think Duhbya is, he's gonna believe the worst about Dem's.

PR is so important and the 'thugs have gotten that whole thing TOGETHER.

Two CAN AND MUST play that game. My couple of cents.

1. Does your brother have a computer? Show him this:

Also, www.mediamatters.com (.org?) usually has info on his neverending spin.

5. My bro has bought into the Michael Moore propoganda early on

And I should add, propoganda perpetuated by these very cable hacks.

To be honest, I don't talk politics with him, or anyone who isn't educated on basic stuff. It's just a waste of time. But, I was using him as an example of the average guy, not too political, keeps up somewhat. Or thinks they are cause they listen to Hardball. The perception of the average person needs balance.
