We do not have the luxury of simply ignoring the bigots, the insincere, because while they may be insincere intellectually, they are sincerely trying to take us down.

Without serious pushback there was no friction in the positive feedback loop running through the media. The bullshit built on its own unchallenged repetition and gave us eight years of George Bush.

We cannot rely on MSM disproving anything. Go to them and disprove it yourself. Write letters & emails to them. Every MSM has a comments blog which is swarmed by those repeating BS. Anyone can comment. I do. Kossaks say nobody reads those comments, but if that were so, why does every MSM now have one, why does every srticle fill up with thousand of comments? And people do read them, they are more curious to see what others have to say than what the "journalists" have to say.
You all need to read the MSM comment blogs to see how it is done. You wouldn't get so much unchallenged repetition of BS if more people would go and ANSWER to it.
For example, I just went to USA Today and picked the first story I found. There is this article about Obama crying during the eulogy of Dorothy Height, a civil rights heroine:
http://www.usatoday.com/...
And you read a comment saying:
Should cry.. The way he messed up America..And in only 16 months
or
Crying cause he rammed Obamacare down our throats with ZERO GOP votes... And he should!
you have to read many comments, like 30 or so until you find one from a person with some common sense:
Read the story. She was a great woman and an inspiration to ALL women. Maybe you should do some research to find out who she was. There are plenty of women who know and care about this woman who had more b--- than most men.
The problem is, many liberals think it is perfectly fine to allow the repetition of BS to go unchallenged. I politely disagree.
