"Twenty-five years ago Bill Buckley would haul in the Michael Moores of the world onto "Firing Line" and the two would debate the issues in a dignified manner. " I'd almost forgotten about that. Actual debates. What a concept. "It's just hour after hour, day after day, year after year, of continuous right-wing bashing." "Sometimes I wonder whether these people even know what they're saying" They don't. It's not necessary. I heard Dick Morris, who is a scumbucket, but brilliant, disclose what is really going on in the political media world today - it is called "unintentional learning". That's the technical euphamism for repetitive propaganda messages to give opinions whether the audience wants them or not. I was shocked by how casually and businesslike this concept is used in political and media programming by Morris and others. By all parties, Dems and Repubs. Whoever brings the most dollars to bear can get whatever message they wish into the brain of whatever segments they want. The toughest are those who have the patience for an actual hour-long Buckley type debate. Too much thinking goes on, so it's much tougher to create "unintentional learning".
