It's comfortable living in a cocoon -- associating only with those who share your views, reading journalism and watching news that only reinforces them, avoiding those on the other side of the cultural divide.
Liberals have been doing this for a long time.
It may be the the least self-aware passage ever penned by a conservative pundit. It gets worse from there, but the gist of it is since Barone lives in his own impenetrable cocoon of Derp, he argues that because liberals don't choose to accept the perfection of the FOX News reality simulator, they can't win arguments with conservatives.
In other words, liberals can only win in Barone's eyes if they accept the fact they've already lost. And since they've already lost, why bother winning? Didn't you know all real Americans go to megachurches and watch Hannity and listen to Rush? The rest of you people live in a cocoon. You should try it!
Of course, the outfits that are dedicated to fighting the right's message on their own terms by listening to Rush and watching FOX and going after them? Yeah, they don't exist in Barone's world, apparently. Funny how that works, right?
