re: #207 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

This is a situation that’s older than disco. A major factor in JFK’s victory was the televised debates against Nixon, where he came off looking like movie star, while Tricky Dick looked like a used car salesman. We could even push it further back and argue that part of FDR’s success was using radio and motion pictures to reach the masses.

The benefit now, though is I think there are way more resources than the 3 networks. Just takes the time & energy to use them. AND to be able to see the contrasts, ie. get rid of the propaganda.
