4. The Weiner and Palin rhetoric is supposed to keep your mind off the real news
You know, never mind the man behind the curtain stuff?

6. We should talk about Palin. She has a public forum and uses it to lie and spread hate. Sen. Weiner's
incident involves his private life.

7. Exactly--
I wish we weren't so easily baited by the latest idiocy. Us on the left think we are not as vulnerable to media manipulation. I think that these stories are used to humiliate, shame and trigger us into losing focus on more important issues. Unfortunately it works really well on everyone, but we have to learn when to snap out of it.
