Whether it's the NRA declaring at the top of its lungs that Obama plans to take away our guns (Um, no. Obama: "I believe in the Second Amendment, and if you are a law-abiding gun owner, you have nothing to fear from an Obama administration!") or Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) advocating racial profiling or Daniel Pipes spouting nonsense about affirmative action for Muslim beauty contest participants, I keep wondering how it is that they all manage to get any attention at all. Is it just that our media has given up on news as a mission and decided that our attention spans are too short, so it's just going to provide entertainment instead?
