Or same standards, it's called ‘shoot the messenger”

Of course, "shoot the messenger" only if the news does not conform to your ideology, and "welcome the messenger," (even if it's the same messenger) otherwise, is a double standard.

At 9pm EST you have Hannity and Maddow complementing each other. They both (as do others like Rush) create imaginary worlds that people want to live in, worlds that dont exist. And that is good $$$ business.

They both prop up straw men and knock them down over and over. They both bring on Representives of the *other* side working for their network who then agree with them.

All the world's a stage.
