Thanks, David, for the Marshall thing on Deutsch.  I sent it to myself, and shall presently print it out.  It goes well with something else I am working on.

Congratulations on your presumably original neologisms, "fruitcakery" (though I rather like some fruitcake) and "crankosphere."

And bravo!, say I, a hearty bravo!, on sailing full steam ahead, "staying the course," one might even say, if that did not have such unpleasant connotations, through the mined and reefy waters filled with quibbles about your Inhofe-related journalistic virtue.

"For my part, I'm sick of knocking down the same zombie falsehoods again and again. The folks advancing these claims can no longer claim to be acting in good faith, so they won't get good faith responses from me."

A pattern of baiting the debate into nonsensical waters in order to sink any credibility, that is the essence of the "talking point" style of propaganda employed by this generation of Nixonian "rat-effers".

Rove, the most influential person on the planet?  What a pathetic state that corporate media has brought us into.  

Does corporate media check itself for inregrity?  Not very often.  At least here in blogland some still care enough to pursue pernicious liars and discredit their propaganda.

Propaganda IS the main product of corporate media.
