Its also possible that once people arrive at their own conclusions, as similar as they are to 'official talking points,' a person then takes the talking points as their own. and individual opinions can get blurred and it appears as tho the right has only one stance or one idea on a particular issue. I will agree that there is little distinction between information and political spin on information, but then again, you just have to know where to look.

But I read the same NYTimes articles and Washington Post articles as you do, yet we arrive at different conclusions. There has to be some distinction between information and political spin on it. I would have to say the info comes first, but it depends on where you hear it first.
