Misdirection

What's Your Reaction:

It's the basic tool of the illusionist's art: misdirection. Get the rubes looking where you call their attention, and they won't see the way the trick really works.

Great cartoon.
I wish the media would do more investigative reporting on real issues. Sadly, they seem more invested in hats and rabbits than news. Our media seems like the tourists more interested in gambling on street performers three card Monty games than seeing the new reality of their environment.

Thanks.
It's always about distractions, never about the brad-and-butter issues that actually affect peoples' lives.
