The Liberal Media is Brain Dead

Since January 2000, a grand total of 17 states throughout the country have held direct voter referendums in which their citizens have been asked, point blank, whether they wanted to ban gay marriages in their respective states.
In each instance, those voters responded by saying yes, indeed, they wanted gay marriages banned.
And here are the respective voting margins:
57-43 = Oregon.
59-41 = Michigan.
61-38 = California.
62-38 = Ohio.
66-34 = Utah.
67-33 = Montana.
70-30 = Nebraska.
70-30 = Nevada.
71-29 = Kansas.
71-29 = Missouri.
73-27 = North Dakota.
75-25 = Arkansas.
75-25 = Kentucky.
76-24 = Georgia.
76-24 = Oklahoma.
78-22 = Louisiana.
86-14 = Mississippi.
So, ergo, “liberal states,” such as Oregon and California, have voted to ban gay marriages – by super-majority margins.
And “libertarian states,” such as Montana and Nevada, have voted to ban gay marriages – by even more overwhelming margins.
And “bitterly-divided swing states,” such as Ohio and Michigan, also have voted to ban gay marriages – by super-majority margins.
On the other hand, the left-of-Pravda Boston Globe just “reported” that they took a “poll” on this issue, and, yeah, you guessed it, they found opposition to gay marriages to be right at 50 percent, with 11 percent of their sample purportedly being “neutral” on the matter.
Hmm.
That’s amazing, huh?
Only fifty percent??!!
But when people are asked actually to *vote* on this issue, they *vote* to *ban* gay marriages. And they do so by margins ranging anywhere from 57 percent (in “liberal Oregon"), to 61 percent (in the largest state in the country, by leaps and bounds), to 67 percent (in “libertarian” Montana), to 84 percent (in conservative Mississippi).
Mmm, hmm.
Gee, you don’t think that “poll” might have been slanted and gerrymandered to try to shape public opinion, instead of merely reporting it, and thereby to advance the liberal agenda, do you???
In any event, and yet again, I simply have no choice but to quote from the patron saint of trust-fund liberal cognitive and political dissonance, the late New Yorker film critic, and spaced-out precursor to Maureen Dowd, the inimitable Pauline Kael:
“I don’t know how Nixon got elected; nobody I know voted for him.”
Yeah, Pauline, Nixon only won 60 percent of the vote that year, and 49 out of 50 states, including your home state of New York.
Ahem.
You see, folks, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
And far-left political organizations, such as the Boston Globe, have sunk way below denial.
They’re in political reality comas. Even basic cognition of the world outside their cocoons no longer is possible for them.
Oh, well.
You can lead partisan-liberal Democrats to reality, but you can’t make them think.
