You do make the point that the point of politicians lying is to get voters to vote for them. That goes with the U Maryland study of last week that just found that Fox News viewers are the least truthfully-informed. Voters are responsible for their own education on the issues. The "low information" voter loves them some angry or scary slogans  From either party. |
I was pretty sure you would latch onto that story, particularly with the slam on Fox. Spin away....
