Massaging the crazy

Courtesy of Bryan Mann, a reporter at our local NPR station, a report on what the seemingly average Trump voter believes;  any criticism of cheeto Jesus is fake news and Faux News with the exception of Sean Hannity is too liberal.  Mann interviewed a husband and wife from Watkins Glen who were vacationing in Elizabethtown, NY (that is reason enough to question their sanity).  Both told Mann the harping of the mainstream media on the Russia probe is a distraction which is preventing the president from implementing all the programs which will benefit ordinary Americans.  I guess they were referring to taking health care away from millions of their fellow citizens in order to give tax cuts to the ultra wealthy.  Or perhaps the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants which will blow a hole in the economy.  They glowingly refer to Rush Limbaugh as a conduit for the real truth regarding the present administration and criticize the likes of the NYT and NPR as fake news outlets.  Somewhere, George Orwell is weeping.
