Trump, the orangutan haired Republican Presidential contender did not make the distinction between people Mexico was sending to the U.S. regarding the legality of their immigration status or lack thereof.<br /><br />"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."<br /><br />In fact, we have to assume, based on his wording, that Donald only took the initiative in creating a distinction between some rapists being good and other rapists being not so good.

If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a ‘gossip mode.’ In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in.Sparkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-50690163878486267472015-07-07T13:55:38.756-04:002015-07-07T13:55:38.756-04:00Just like a member of the guild not to name names....Just like a member of the guild not to name names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-90960172819071951012015-07-07T13:38:52.253-04:002015-07-07T13:38:52.253-04:00I never forgave Liz for what she did to Eddie Fisc...I never forgave Liz for what she did to Eddie Fischer.<br /><br />Or Eddie for what he did to Debbie and Princess Leia for that matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-45905762855662481422015-07-07T13:21:19.629-04:002015-07-07T13:21:19.629-04:00The late great Bartcop, whose pioneering coverage ...The late great Bartcop, whose pioneering coverage of the media led to copycat websites like our own TDH, used to have great fun with pundit prognosticators like Rachel and Bob.<br /><br />He repeatedly ran a chart from "Content" ranking the accuracy of predictions of famous pundits like George Will, William Kristol, Sam&Cokie and their ilk to randomly predicted answers selected by Chippy the Chimp.<br /><br />http://www.bartcop.com/chippy.htm<br /><br />Bart is missed, Nobody covered the right wing media like he did.

They were frustrated because every word spoken on air had to be written word for word for her. Her co-host, Liz Winstead, could improvise, vamp, take a topic and spontaneously elaborate off the top of her head. They never expected Maddow to be the one to take off in broadcasting. Surely, she's grown since then, but I still get the impression she practices her faces by looking in the mirror before each show. I worked at a station with Limbaugh as well, and as loathsome as his commentary is, he works from bullet points, extrapolating, free associating and playing with words. Hannity, in contrast, gets a written sheet before each show and reads it verbatim for the first half hour. And it sounds like it...

Furthermore, it takes some talent to sit before a camera for 10 minutes and deliver single issue commentary without a guest. On the other hand, Maddow is a learned student of Francois Delsarte, not Sandy Meisner. She has a practiced and unconvincing 'listening face', 'a concerned face', a 'delighted face' (usually over her own 'cleverness'. Why not just listen, or experience concern or delight instead? As to the issue: Maddow did hype her prediction about Obama and Nike one night.
