by means of an entertainment based media which is driven by sensation and emotion.

You can place the smartest person in the world in a room with a talking head and Sarah Palin, and at the end of the discussion all that will be talked about is Palin's one-liners.

Self-restraint takes courage and it also continues to give the batshit crazy right wingers legitimacy.

Self-restraint is not working we need more Rep. Bill Pascrell's to call these teabaggers out and bitchslap them back under the rock they crawled out from.

As much as the media tries to make this a 'fight', they have even lost the punch for it, because the rightwing is totally batshit crazy.

different than guests on the Jerry Springer Show, yet they are still treated as if they are serious politicians. I very seldom see anyone call out their lies on network TV.

Yet there is a good chance they will hold onto the the house in 2014, because they are the ones who set the agenda,

I have yet to hear anyone in the main stream media call out the republicans on any of their nonsense such as Benghazi, all they do is continue to play along with their circus.
