71. A few days late, but I have to say that this is such an important fact.

Facts are never going to make Rs look good. Journalism must put forth & explain that particular fact. The RWNJs won't accept the logic behind that any more than they accept anything the don't like to hear.

But there are loads of "independents" who can be persuaded by facts, logic, and truth. Unfortunately, extreme Rs are bombarding them with partisan BS far more often than level-headed sources are offering them sound, ressoned counterpoint.
