that good news doesn't sell on TV. Repugs grouse about our social programs costing money when they're perfectly happy giving monstrous tax breaks to the super rich. They really have no interest in ordinary people, who they are so good at gulling into voting against their own interests. Maybe we should stoop to a little gulling of our own? No, I don't believe that. I believe we should just get better at publicizing the truth--aggressively or subtly, loudly or not, but with fervor. Stop falling into the endless traps of countering repug propaganda and state our own case.
