Why can't our society (the media and liberals) see the hypocrisy that it's displaying?

well said, its my 'opinion' that people who are weak of character have to look to other means to influence those around them. if their own history and record isnt enough to give them the power they seek then they have to try other ways. in addition, some people are too arrogant to think that they could have anything to do with their own failure, so they must create a history(rewrite, if you will) that they can live with.
