We know. We know.

Couldn't you, easily, argue that nearly all advertising is about getting out the vote for your side? Sure some ads are about depressing the other side's vote but the majority are about getting out your side.

Journalists are more important than us regular people. How dare you think otherwise. I hope you are ready for the Truth and Reconciliation Committee to pick you up.
