pragmatismo

The main lesson of Conason's book, however, is that hypocrisy works. Phony populism convinces the public that the greedy rich are regular guys; whining about the "liberal media" helps to entrench a de facto conservative bias; noisy tirades about morality convince voters that liberals are sinners; flag pins in the lapels of draft dodgers let them question the patriotism of critics.
