History Is Important

The embedded video demonstrates how propaganda and the lack of an ethical mainstream media skews our understanding of important issues confronting our nation.  "Everyone knows" that the Republican Party is the party of rich white racists intent on keeping people down, while the Democratic Party is the party of the little guy and responsible for keeping evil racists in check.  Watch the video and decide for yourself.  And then ask yourself what other things that "everyone knows" that aren't what they seem (e.g., the Tea Party versus OccupyWallStreet), and why one side always seems to get hammered while the other always seems to skate.
