Politics in the United Satates should be based on position with respect to the issues at hand.

After WWII they prosecuted Tokyo Rose (I think)
Isn't it worse to have propaganda confusing the
voting public?

The twisting of words, the cutting of tapes that leave out pertinent facts and the misrepresentation of a person's message is juvenile, untruthful and the people responsible should be kicked off the air and in some cases, prosecuted.

We are here to try to run this country so that all Americans may live a better life. We are NOT here to win a highschool debate.
