BLITZER: "...You don't hear them complaining about the Fox News polls."

On Thursday's "CNN Newsroom," Blitzer said it was very "convenient" for Republicans and people on Fox News to demean the polls. But, he added, there was a big flaw in their arguments.

"What they don't say is that the Fox News polls are showing almost exactly the same thing," Blitzer said, reeling off a string of numbers. "...You don't hear them complaining about the Fox News polls. They're complaining about the others. So there's an imbalance there."

to actually observe the paradox behind the RETHUG talking points he receives and spews each day?

Maybe all hope is NOT lost.

While he is a bona-fide, card-carrying, bought and paid for, boot-licker to the 1%, he's smart enough to realize that Bullshit Mountain is in decline.

I don't watch Fox, but I suspect that the people who do watch, do so because hearing their viewpoints "reported" by a national "news" organization somehow validates their opinions. Everyone I know who relies on Fox for their news has only heard one side of the issues and they won't accept any other view.
