And with control of AM radio's talkshows and a now major TV news source, Fox, it's relatively easy to do this. Ever wonder why students and professors from universities throughout America don't fall for the Bush bait hook, line and sinker? Perhaps it's because they are thinking rather than reacting, is my theory.
