WaPo's Sargent: The Hill's "Comically misleading link-baiting headline of the day" to smear Kerry

Comically misleading link-baiting headline of the day: From The Hill:

Kerry blames out-of-touch voters for Democrats' midterm image troubles

That's based on this quote from John Kerry: "We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what's happening." And Kerry goes on to say it's "appropriate" that public anger is directed at Washington.
>>>>>>

I notice every day here that DUers often observe corporate media giving far more airtime to slogans and dumbed down versions of the issues.

People should be angry at Washington, but, let's be clear that many of us angry folks who are UNHEARD are angry at the GAMES played in Washington with GOP messaging machine being abetted by a corporate media uninterested in facts and truths.
