In 1973, the Country operated around a central group of facts presented by major news networks and newspapers. Opinions varied but they were at least all derived from some basic commonality.

Today, we all have custom sources of information. As long as Fox, Limbaugh and the websites stay loyal, those familiar looking inflection points won't matter the same way they did in 1973.

If he loses Fox and the others, then we can talk.
