If Only...

The WaPo as well as the major cable networks are running more highly accurate (and horrific) stories of Republican perfidy, authoritarian initiatives, lies, and truly demented policy ideas. It's really something to read, the news told as it really is, without any false both-siderism. Even the Times seems to understand (well, about the half the time or so) that balance does not mean placing Republican fantasies on the same rhetorical pedestal as reality.
If only the mainstream media had produced this level of journalistic accuracy the last time it could have made a difference, when they were stealing the 2000 election — and lying just as baldly.
I'm afraid it's a little late now. The cultists have their media and simply aren't listening to the mainstream anymore.
If the truth is shouted in a forest, but the trees only have ears for falsehood, the forest is silent.
