I unlike some I am able to process information and make my own personal judgment on any information obtained from various sources. This is a analytical processes that those that worked in my occupation used to identify, isolate, and correct problems. We may have gone down a wrong path occasionally (probably numerous times), but eventually realized our mistake and looked at the problem in a different aspect and eventually reached a solution. So, I have no problem listening, studying, and analyzing to reach a solution; unlike some that are unable to see that they might have made an analytical mistake and correct it but are so sure that there original hypothesis has to be the only possibility that they never reach the right answer.
I get all that and I watch conservative media more than anything else. By a long shot. When I see fake stories or propaganda from outlets that gets a downvote from me. It just so happens that your sources have more downvotes than other normal media outlets. By a long shot.
There's a difference between journalism and opinion. Most conservative media is opinion, even Fox is opinion and they admit that. Rush is opinion. He's good at telling his audience what liberals are. "Hate America, Hate the constitution, hate American values, hate christians, hate everything."
That's part of how they keep people voting republican. By scaring you about democrats that you would never EVER consider voting for them.
They take words and give ridiculous meanings behind them. Say the word "liberal" to someone who relies on Rush and they'll explode. Just the word itself has been carefully crafted to mean so many different things. All negative of course. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. The audience believes the performance.
It's all emotional trickery. And of course this isn't widely known, you have to pay attention to everything.
