In “Operation FUBAR“, Farai Chideya quotes an article by David Brock which argued that the reason why Republicans are so popular with voters is because they don’t tell them the truth by glossing over negative facts and developments. This makes a lot of sense as the official propaganda of the White House, which is then replicated in most news outlets, is practically never realistic and certainly never truly critical of the administration. Sometimes it feels as though the Alien & Sedition acts had never been repealed.
