... disinformation masters like Rush Limbaugh years ago. I didn't think enough people could be dumb/gullible enough to believe it... despite how I'd witnessed the influence with my own eyes at some low-paying factories. I figured, "Well, these people are uneducated idiots, but thankfully they're a tiny percentage of the population."
I'm not even sure how to fight it now because it's been happening for so long. The worst part is that the followers have been sucked into believing the "liberal media" conspiracy to such an extent that even liberal radio shows aren't likely to reach them.
If liberal "think tanks" heavily funded such messages, the damn media is largely corporate owned anyway. There's investment bankers who own the biggest radio conglomerates, for example, and I'm sure that they'd prefer to continue conservative propaganda over liberal information even if lots of money was thrown at them.
Maybe I'm too cynical, but I sometimes think it's going to take another Great Depression to wake up many people.
Maybe Democrats should try harder to reach poor folks who stopped voting because they don't think anything will really change?
