31. I can remember when the Repubs attacked the liberal media unmercifully...

..and, over time, were able to get them to take their side on every issue, no matter how crazy. Maybe we should try that tactic?

They now believe that if they give the crazy side and the sane side, their reporting is finished. It is up to the people to decide which side they wish to believe. Then the Republican nuts, like Bachman, ie, reinforce the crazy side until it becomes the accepted and rational one to believe. Any arguments against the crazy are received with skepticism and critical questioning...
