I thought Cass Sunstein should have self expired already according to his own thoughts on longevity.
His wife (Samantha Power) gets all the attention these days.
Sunstein is the one who wrote that all Americans have a little Homer Simpson in them that can be manipulated.
In the context of the original posting I think its the people who decide what is and isn’t news who are the real manipulators.
I’ve always felt that the fixation with Johnathan Gruber was a perfect example. The media resisted and finally dripped a little bit out there but it was what they wanted us to talk about. He drew up the plans for Obamacare and thinks everybody is stupid but he’s a progressive and they think everyone is stupid. The real crime that was perpetrated against the American people was committed by the democrats and everyone seems to have forgotten that.
