Dave Zweifel: Say it enough, people will believe you

Five will get you 10 that state Rep. Steve Nass, the La Grange Republican whose favorite sport is savaging the University of Wisconsin, has his TV set tuned to Fox News.

He’d be a rare George W. Bush Republican if he’d be enlightened enough to watch a cable channel or even a network news show that was actually “fair and balanced” as Fox claims to be even while it leads the propaganda campaign for the current administration.

But folks like Nass, who can get all bent out of shape over a part-time UW lecturer believing in conspiracy theories, never speak out when a national cable channel, talk radio and a variety of big-time politicians spread false theories of their own.
