Great RS Article-
Moblogic street interviews in LA, NY, Austin, CT, PA have all taught me the same thing. It’s amazing how parrot-ish we all become as a result of what gets the most airtime. Very well put.
4 months ago :: ::A laid-off worker in Ohio will go to a Hillary Clinton speech, hear Hillary talk about the dangers of electing a president without “experience,” and then five minutes after the speech he’ll be shaking his fist at the ceiling at the very idea of someone without “experience” even trying to run for president. A teacher in New York will go to an Obama event looking curious and happy, then come out furious at the politics of “the past,” rambling like it’s been on his mind for years about how we need to “look to the future” instead of staying stuck “where we are.” A Republican turns on the TV, hears some asshole like Michelle Malkin say the surge is working, then turns around and with his arm draped around his wife gives you a long spiel about how the surge is working and how those damned liberals don’t want to admit it. Crucially, however, those same people never tell you the same story for more than a few weeks. A few weeks later, their brains are a clean slate again, and the next story they tell you is the one they heard even more recently on TV.
