Isthmus Excerpt:To list the facts on Paul Ryan's record and report on the results, we don't need 'aggressive' media coverage. An honest media would do just fine.
Take UAW staffer Diana Hrovaiten, who lost her job at Delphi as it downsized locally while expanding in Mexico: "Ryan's 'Roadmap' protects the fortunes of the rich, but for the rest of us, it's an eight-lane expressway to destruction."
But professor Dresang says it's not unusual for voters to have "a particular image of a politician" based on personality and not voting records, especially in the absence of aggressive media coverage.
But this is a major (mis)perception voters must overcome to save ourselves. That the image of a nice guy with a family somehow offsets his awful congressional record and all the damage he has done to his district and country. The last thing anyone should call someone like Ryan is, is a 'nice guy.'
