"And the Democrats never quail at being proved wrong, they merely move onto the next thing and demagogue that."

Worth a separate mention.

And how is it that they can get away with this kind of behavior? Because the mainstream media lets them. Indeed, encourages and abets them.

Fortunately, there is the internet and talk radio, where the liberals can be called on their despicable demagoguery. Eventually, someday, perhaps, they will be called to account...

"Ownership" of the media is crucial (not coincidentally, this is Lenin's maxim) to demagoguery.

As much as we denigrate it and talk about the "new" means (like the Internet) of transmitting information, it is still the establishment media outlets that have the lion's share of impact on how our population thinks about events. That may have changed at the margins, but their impact is still greater than all other information sources combined.

It's why rebels and invading armies alike first get their hands on the TV and radio stations.
