RE: Oligarch-Owned Media Outlets Really, REALLY Want You To Love George W Bush
The most frightening thing is how effective the campaign has been. That approval rating amongst Democrats is astonishing. I can't believe that people are still tuning into the mainstream media, have such poor abilities of recall, and have minds that are so malleable.
Most people aren't tuning to the "mainstream media". The average audience member of CNN or Fox News are literally 60+ years old and few actually read newspapers or anything. Most people get their information from social media, and polls show that trust in mass media is at an all time low anymore. Only about 1 in 4 people even identify as a Democrat too, so even if 100% of them could be tricked into supporting Bush, we still have them out numbered by a wide margin.
Sometimes I forget the momentum of change over there in the US. We just don't see that here in your grovelling lapdog land of Oz (Australia).
