an expert in chicanery and fast-dealing
Oh she gets taken in a lot, as do the people who watch or listen to these experts. Often it turns out the the experts know a lot less then the people around them, they are just better at jiving it.
There was a big deal a few years ago with some book that turned out to be pretty much fake. A Million Tiny Pieces or some such. I remember reading it - and its not a bad book, I'd almost recommend it even, but I do recall getting close to the end and thinking, "what a pile of crap" because he went on in detail about something that I knew was incorrect. So I gave it to a bud at work and had him read it, and he came back and said the same thing. For the same reason. As it turns out you could have asked anyone who lived in the Twin Cities and they would have noticed it too.
But O and the rest, they want so desperately TO believe that they don't notice when what they are believing in is more or less bunk.
Turn off your TV, Blow up your TV. Why do you think they call it 'programing'?
