(30,058 posts)The media has been so twisted around here that most don't know what is and is not the truth. Nearly every single commercial so far has been an attack against Claire and that's before the Repub primary, which isn't until August.
They are my people. Why would I ever call them stupid? What I will say is that there has been little money spent here and that many, including many here on DU, would prefer to forget about Missourians. We get our information where we can, which is usually on the local news inbetween reports on the weather (we're in a heat warning right now), ozone alerts, traffic reports and gas prices. Most in my state are just trying to get by, rushing along to whatever is needs to be done. They get their bits and pieces from the local news, hoping it's accurate, and from commercials shown during prime time family programming.
WE are not stupid. We're being lied to.
