Do you not understand, at your age, that media articles consist mostly of spin?
And that what someone actually says, as opposed to what the media is trying to make them say, is more important?
And that the media deliberately quotes people selectively to twist their words?
And that the media conveniently leaves out important details that would sabotage their entire spin if they were mentioned?
Why is it that self-described conservatives take news stories at face value, when they should know better?
Because some stories just tickle their templates.
