What triggered my realization was my then local newspaper was selecting daily "anti-Bush" letters to the editor, reflecting "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Then I notice that the NEWS (not opinion) pages often reflected a negativity toward Bush that was out of proportion to the topics discussed. <br /><br />I then began to notice creeping conservative insults appearing in various magazines. For example, an issue of Smithsonian Magazine -- in an article on natural science (not at all a political article) as it wrapped up, there was a paragraph "ranting" against George Bush. It was so out of place that you had to read it twice just to be sure you actually understood what you read --- it was totally out of context and had nothing to do with the subject. Fair enough if there was a government policy related to the topic to criticize -- but that was not the case. <br /><br />I then began dropping almost all the publications I used to subscribe to. No more Reader's Digest (The original publishers are, no doubt, spinning in their graves), no more Smithsonian, no more TIME (another one where the original publishers would be annoyed), and certainly no more of the local papers that were daily doses of leftist propaganda. My blood pressure has been much better ever since....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570014965381941530noreply@blogger.com
