    The fact that the public, in the end, turned on Nixon is the REASON we have Fox News today. It’s creators were anticipating the landscape today where a conservative media bubble would isolate Republicans from the facts. It works perfectly.

      Yes, I’m aware of that. This is why I brought up Roger Stone. My point is people aren’t stupider or more insular today; they are actually slightly less so.

      The machinery of propaganda is much more refined today.

        Stupider? No.

        More insular? Are you kidding me? Of course they are. It’s not even close.
