Or the shills hoping to gain high-ranking posts in a new Democratic administration. Or the shills paid by the major networks who know that they can only keep getting on TV if they criticize the incumbent administration. Or the crises manufactured by the networks when they rely on fauxtography or planted stories from the terrorists, just like they used to rely on stories planted by the KGB. Or the Democrat politicians who manufacture crises from natural fluctuations in weather and economic activity. Or the bloggers who just can't stand it when the correct side tries to get equal time for facts and the truth. So they manufacture a crisis about people who work for the US Military actually being paid by them. Or about people being asked to tell the US Military's side of the story being given the facts before going on camera. Speaking of not taking anyone seriously anymore, you count. “But clearly, the line between “expert” and “shill” has blurred here, and the shills are getting government contracts”
