I had to think about it. How was it that Rush Limbaugh is worth so much money? Have syndicated radio without discussing any topic based in facts and the truth.
How does Beck and Murdoch's tribe get away with so much falsehood? Blatant lies?
If Republicans can convincingly destroy the truth, the elections are guaranteed to them. Election donations facilitate that reality and are well spent. It is anarchy.
It is a technique. I knew it had to be something concrete because it is so successful. It isn't just lies, it is premeditated manipulation of 'the message.'
It has a goal.
It is definately a technique.
Rush can never be wrong, but, only WRONGED. He is 'wronged' by the truth. At that point it is a 'loyality' issue and whom one tunes into everyday or whenever. Loyalty is trust. When a subject is too complex for any electorate to 'get their minds around' it is easier to be loyal (feels good) and trust.
The 'mistruth' then becomes beneficial and 'a choice.' Once a mistruth becomes a choice there is no finding middle ground, but, only conquest.
The Republicans will never commit to anything the Democrats have in mind. The President can include their ideas into legislation, but, for Bohner to ever shake the President's hand in a job well done would sink his 'standing' with his electorate. Republicans don't want good policy, they want to be elected and if unethical behavior accompanies it, then so be it.
Introducing an untruth along with a truth or urban myth "all in the same breath" is a way of engaging dialogue 'to find' the 'talk' that destroys the truth. It brings people in, suckers those that hold opinions regarding issues.
Then through the 'rantings meter' the message that brings in the most people regardless of the truth can be honed in and perfected. As long as the message is 'reasonable' and 'believable' by the largest listening audience it is accepted as factual, whether it is or not.
What is a politician's best friend? The majority of votes in election, yes? Why then speak the truth or seek the best path for the country when people can be manipulated in majority to vote based on 'talk radio ratings?'
It is why 'the truth talkers' lose elections. When a candidate wants to win why not 'go with' the flow and accept lies and injustice as a legitimate position. As long as the myths continue to be popular, regardless of the competency of the other party the Republicans will win.
They'll use anyone who can deliver an election regardless of the adverse effect on the country.
Destroying the truth is a priority. It creates a wedge that will split the vote.
