Low-information voters.

I'm fed up with stupid, no nothing, white guilt ridden, groupthink sportscasters. If you want to see the dumbest bunch of big fat over inflated egos on the face of the earth, turn on any sportscast and look at the group of retards with big earphones sitting behind a desk, making the world shattering predictions and verbal replays of the game that was just played and about the one you should miss next week. Then one of them, usually the most cretinous of the bunch will inject his brand of how you should feel, liberal politics. When you see them, turn them off  the TV FAST! m/r

We should all take note of what Whitlock and Costas have done here.
What has been a complaint among conservatives since Nov. 6? Low-information voters. Well, this is how the media gets to those people--by infusing liberal ideology within the context of news that has nothing to do with politics.
Yes, to us well-informed conservatives, we grimace when we hear this kind of stuff happen. But, to the low information voter who respects Costas and Whitlock, this perverted reasoning sounds reasonable, even if these reporters are commenting on topics far outside of their (alleged) expertise. I'm not saying it automatically makes these voters committed liberals. But, it definitely makes these people think more like Costas and Whitlock than like us.
The problem we have as conservatives is we think it's uncouth to insert politics into topics that have nothing to do with politics, especially when  the setting is on a national level. Well, this should be a lesson. We need to change our behavior. And the communication pattern can't be in the "red meat" ways we talk to each other. It must be rational and reasonable like Costas and Whitlock are seeming to be.
