Please explain to me the difference between you reading the transcript and discussing it with your kid after school and you watching it with your child in the room.

I disagree that they are astroturf, but I do believe you are correct in your interpretation.
Here's the thing - you heard that Pelosi called the protestors Nazis. You believed it and repeated it. It wasn't true. By the time you realized it and "took it back", you may have told other people, and they told other people. This is exactly how all this crap works. This is what "astroturf" is. It's the outrage created when misinformation is repeated. Yes, people are angry and the polls show it. But why? Because someone says "death panels", other people repeat it, and then the first person "retracts" but it's too late. It's outrage based on phony concepts.
