Reply #33: It's public opinion molding... [View All]

I think the right wing media has been relatively silent on the issue because the mainstream media has also been silent. Now that things are starting to heat up, I expect we will see much more of this. Fox and company would remain silent if the issue was going to fade away. But it's not. So they will try to make this a public issue in the context of "discrediting the President." They have also started making it about "wasting tax payer dollars" because the real cost is purported to be far greater than the money raised by the candidates to pay for it according to state law.

It is sad that the first time most people hear about the issue it will be from a right wing/corporate media source like Fox and people will see it as a democratic sore loser waste of money attack on the president when it is really about the integrity of our Democracy.

Also my suggestion is - know thy enemy - tune in to Fox on a regular basis or Rush during your commute so you will know what you are up against when trying to discuss issues with most people.
