The Talking Heads On The News Shows Keep Telling Us How We're Being Manipulated By The Campaigns....
and the campaign commercials, etc.

If we are being told that we're being manipulated to support a particular candidate. If we are being shown how we are being manipulated. How come we're still so easy to be manipulated.

Really - I guess it's the power of the commercial - but - for years we've been told that Madison Ave and political campaigners are manipulating us to do certain things. Don't you think we'd get wise to this and refuse to be manipulated? Are we that stupid?

2. You see the news media, a long long time ago....
Took their responsibility to cut through the crap and give us the truth...

Every since Monica Lewinsky, they just figure we can't handle the truth and then berate for not trying to get the truth...
