You gotta hand it to E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post.

Really, the town hall angst is really just a media conspiracy to make Obama and liberals look bad.

But what if our media-created impression of the meetings is wrong? What if the highly publicized screamers represented only a fraction of public opinion? What if most of the town halls were populated by citizens who respectfully but firmly expressed a mixture of support, concern and doubt?

Uh-huh. So are the tanking poll numbers, I guess.
