Good urban legends never die, no matter how often or how completely they are debunked. Urban legends capture the public imagination because a segment of the public longs for them to be true – and so they endure. Here are two that will have to join the ranks of the likes of; ‘Do Not Call’ List for Cell Phones? and Procter & Gamble is a front company for Satan.
1) Democrats are Divided.
2) America is a Conservative Country.
Expect to hear those urban rumors quite a bit over the next 6 months even thought they are both patently false. Sadly, the segment of the public that longs for these urban legends to be true is the nation’s editorial boards.
