I don’t live in the US, in live in Canada. But US politics has a huge impact on world affairs, just look at what’s happened over the last 4 years. So I’m directly impacted by the way 300 million (well, the 50% that vote) US citizens perceive things. So I took a keen interest in the presidential debate last night. It looked pretty obvious to me that Kerry knocked one out of the park. He addressed the “flip-flop” issue to a point where Bush literally had nothing to say anymore. But the US media saw things differently. Is that the new reality after the Dan Rather incident, am I skewed by my personal believes or is politics really a matter of repetition, true or false, the more you say it, the more people will start to believe it. Salon.com was the only source I’ve found that reported on the debate I saw.
