Jim you bring up a very good point about the "media". The liberal supporters, and I am including the people who adhere to the agenda of the "progressive" movement, all have an agenda that is an organized effort by all who subscribe to the "progressive" ideals. They have a purposeful intent, and a understanding on how to win over the weak minded citizens of the USA. When I say weak minded, I am not saying this to denigrate or criticize any particular people. But I use this as an example of my own mother, who at one time always thought and trusted in the "word" of the local media, the newspaper, the AM radio talk shows. The real problem that many Americans dont seem to grasp, is the fact that the planners/and agenda setters of the "progressive" movement know and implement a plan to indoctrinate and hire only reporters and media graduates that support their agenda. They relocate and settle these people in areas of the United States that might be historically conservative leaning, and they do this with the intent of using the media to slowly change the mindset of the people, to shame the local populace into feeling guilty, and push stories that appear to make people think that their progressive agenda is the actual norm. Many of us go through life not thinking or even comprehend that this could be happening....but it is real. Go read Saul Alinsky's book entitled "Rules for Radicals" and you will clearly then understand what our top government officials are doing. Our president was an active "trainer" in these principles of action in his early days prior to his political entry.
