Incestuous Groupthink

I am a communication studies scholar. I am also a moderate politically. I was writing a short rant to a friend and decided to share it here. I don't do it as a slam on liberals or from a conservative perspective. I do it as an observer of media and culture... I was watching The Daily Show today and Jon Stewart is truly dumbfounded by the whole affair (Bush winning). I honestly believe that the fact that "the country is divided" is an illusion (that I was even starting to believe, and still do in certain ways) and the "liberal elitists" (as some would call them) have fallen for their own lines because they are feeding it to themselves. Those in media and entertainment have bought into their own incestuous groupthink. They believed everyone believes as they do simply because they are only in touch with themselves. Other voices do not have an outlet in media. So they believe that what they hear is all there is or at least all that should be. It's amazing when people on television actually believe what they hear on television!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
