"What's a BBS?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system

"My CNN LIES bumper sticker (the only one on the car) gets me the occasional finger (from what I can only assume are liberals)."

A few years ago I worked with a young liberal who seemed to be personable and intelligent, so I thought I might make some headway with demonstrating that the news sources he relied on were lying to him. Needles to say, that didn't go well.

However, it did lead me to understand something...probably something everybody else already knew, but here it is anyway: the single biggest impediment to proving the dishonesty of the LSM to a liberal is that they cannot, emotionally, stand to face the prospect that they could be deceived like that.

They're just too intelligent to be taken in like that, you see. If CNN had been lying every minute of every day since its inception, they would have seen it, because they're so smart. If someone as bright and perceptive as they are hasn't seen it, well, then, it isn't there. Res ipsa loquitur.

To suggest that it is there and they just haven't picked up on it, that the LSM has played them like a violin, is to say that the vast right-wing conspiracy is smarter than they are -- a mortal insult.

If anybody knows a way past that one, please let me in on it. It has me stymied.

Facts without comment, presented dispassionately will sink in to the few truly intelligent Libs...eventually. The problem is that sources a Lib will trust will not allow truths which interfere with their agenda to be told (unless a violent leftward spin is added).
