Are you concerned that we are being manipulated by media...?

[kentuck]

and the Republicans? Do you fear that we are walking into their trap? Or does that never cross your mind? Or do you just accept that that is what they do? We can only control what we do - not what they do? Are you concerned that a year from now we will look back and say "if we only had done this or that"?
Do you think we are being led down a primrose lane? Are we being set up to continue 4-8 more years of what we have just experienced with anothe Republican? Or is it all mostly paranoia? No one is that smart?

3. I don't trust it anymore

and of course they are trying, that's what they do.

I hope people won't be fooled again.

4. Because we have a large task of getting our message out

we have to make sure our message is simple, clear, and kept close to the concepts important to working and middle class life in America now.
We can't walk into un important framing games with the republicans. We just don't need to address the media's agenda, we need to start making them address ours.

12. Every waking minute. It's not paranoia, and they have the best minds

that money can buy working on ways to continue consolidation of corporate control of our government.

Thanks for asking.

15. Doubt it, from same page

Reports that President George Bush Jr. found a severed horse’s head inside his bed at Crawford, Texas, before Christmas, are hereby confirmed. The head was severed from one of Bush Jr.’s most prized and cherished horses, worth an estimated $350,000. The Editor does not watch films, but knows that a severed horse’s head was used in similar fashion in a film called The Godfather.

Bush hates horses, and owns no horses

16. DU is hosting a new reality series - American Propagandist

everybody's auditioning for the honor of becoming Karl Rove's replacement. The mods are outgunned.

I have to admit, my brain is so tied in knots over the level of conflicting and obvously misleading information and fairly well-desguised misinformation, that I'll probably end up just voting for Kucinich.
