The Infomercial

by tristero

I generally agree with PZ that the most effective part of the infomercial was when Obama was talking about his ideas. I dislike human interest anecdotes when I think hard facts are more persuasive. It’s one of the major reasons TV news is as bad as it is.

However, when the middle-class woman with four kids pointed at the door of her refrigerator and told us that that was her family’s food for the week… that cut to the heart.
