My Home About Me

Paul Krugman, in an interview with someone from the tinfoil hat wing of the Democratic party, named Rory O'Connor:

ROC: In your book, you talk about the media's use of "storylines" and what you've called the "Rambofication of history."

PK: Yes, I'm rather proud of the term "Rambofication."

As if to demonstrate the use of "storylines" in political propaganda, Krugman spins some rather absurd tales about the conservative bias of the media, and how that cost Al Gore the 2000 election.

Look at the 2000 presidential campaign, for example, where the media were so heavily biased against Al Gore. That's what brought Bush to within a Supreme Court decision of the White House... The media's bias, a large part of it is in fact right-wing bias, because they are effectively part of the right wing.
