>>Note which candidate they're badmouthing, and vote for him.<<

Operatives do learn pretty fast - at least by the next election. If you vote for the guy that the robo call bad mouths, the new strategy will be to bad mouth the candidate they want to elect. This is an odd thing about the media manipulation that's been going on in politics. People have reached the point where they trust no one, where they can't be sure what's real, and the "controversy" makes a better story than reality.

Frankly, I have no idea what could change things. Even if the mainstream media did its job and reported scum spreading for what it is, no one trust the mainstream media anymore.
