51. I agree

I agree that MSNBC is actual news while Fox is a propaganda machine. But it has 6 solid hours of liberal opinion shows every night, not a few. Look, I'm not trying to equate one with the other I watch MSNBC every night and I sometimes feel like maybe I don't have a clear picture of what is going on since the shows I watch have an on obvious spin for Obama. And before you jump down my throat I am fully aware that what they report is actually true whereas Fox is just a factory of bullshit but I still come away with a feeling that I just watched six hours of programming that I mostly agree with, that made feel super positive about our chances in this thing etc, etc. That essntially the Fox viewer and I live in completely different worlds and the information I am getting is not information they are getting. When there is no baseline for reality no then lying is something you can get away with. Seven years from now are we still going to have Fox viewers who believe that the work requirement was watered down under Obama, that he doubled the deficit, that he is actually a Muslim Marxsist hell bent on the destruction of America? Probably. These are the same people who still believe that WMDs were found in Iraq. When there is no common ground on the FACTS any longer then what is left? Just two streams of contradicting information and a beleaguered electorate who throws up their hands and says "Fuck it. They all lie." and electorate that is more polarized and a country that cannot make decisions for its common good together. "A House divided against itself cannot stand" and I'm the same way now. In 2000 I might have voted for McCain (before he proved his "Maverick" independence was a lie) over Gore, now I won't vote for any Republican for any reason under any circumstance. Ever. It just seems that's not healthy for our democracy that I feel this way and that conservatives feel exactly the same way in reverse. But I apologize it was not my intent to equate Rachel Maddow who deals in truth (albeit with an obvious preference towards liberalism) to Glenn Beck who just lies through his teeth. Just trying to understand how a politician can lie as much as Romney has and still have a chance. Either it's because America's enduring racism won't allow this race to be anything but close or political dialogue has disappeared, since I'm not listening to their bullshit and they're not listening to my facts.
