One Talking Point Too Many

I normally avoid the cable talking head "news" shows, but I did catch part of Scarborough Country last night, and got a nice chuckle out of Brent Bozell going to the talking point well one too many times for one sentence.

Scarborough and Bozell kept saying that "80%" of Americans do not want increased immigration, while the Senate's immigration bill would increase immigration. (I think they are being funny with the poll numbers, but that's another point.) Anyway, I loved Bozell's summation of the "problem":

Now, if this country wants a disaster, well, that‘s democracy. But you don‘t have democracy when 80 percent of America wants one thing and the Senate and the White House are going in another direction, and the media aren‘t telling the public what the facts are.

In other words: The uninformed people have spoken!
