re: #257 Targetpractice

Apparently the “stabbed in the back” narrative is settling on the “liberal media,” the idea that the press turned people against the GOP by “lying” as to what their demands were and making them seem like the bad guys for arguing that they deserved a cookie for not blowing up the economy.

I keep seeing wingnuts — even people I know — parroting the lie that default was never a serious threat, and that it couldn’t happen unless Obama allowed it. Oh, and the liberal media was playing up the fake threat of default to scare people and make the GOP look bad.

WTF.
