They fell for it.</i><br /><br />If the subject is the MSM or academia, no – they always knew. <br /><br /><i>What will it take for the people who voted for Obama to realize that they were suckered? That's really not something to be ashamed of; they were suckered by a world-class con-man supported by the mainstream news media. But it is something to get mad about, and if it were me, I'd be mighty pissed off.</i><br /><br />Nope. The relevant psychological terms are <i>rationalization</i> due to <i>cognitive dissonance.</i> They knew but never expect them to be angry at themselves. <br /><br /><i>For the mainstream media, on the other hand, this will not be nearly enough.</i><br /><br />Bingo. <br /><br /><i>How does the WH explain not providing this to both chambers of Congress a year ago?</i><br /><br />The excuse: The memo was not about Benghazi. The MSM will either ignore it or excuse it.gracklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138997480493469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-32846484204705901332014-05-01T13:48:42.911-05:002014-05-01T13:48:42.911-05:00AJ Lynch said...
