People today are bombarded with propaganda and spin at every turn. You find it in the newspaper you read, the web sites you frequent, in business, government, even politics <g> etc. etc. I think people yearn for simple truth, but the truth is no longer simple. Someone with a simple message, clearly stated over and over has a sort of simple appeal. Worked for Reagan, works for Bush. Bending the truth, revealing just one side, obscuring the other is now taken for granted. Sometimes the spin or slant is so subtle that most people would not take any notice of it. I guess one could argue it has always been that way, it is in the nature of humans to promote their points of view, but it sure seems to be getting more strident and obvious lately. But then, an amateur psychiatrist might diagnose me with suffering from a hopeless, untreatable illness. How many guys do you know who are skeptical of even their own B.S.?
