It's just that if you bring up your logic, it had better not be an unsupported declaration, POV, or worldview...else peole point that out. Few people ever converse beyond "Hubba bubba brudda, dig? Haha!" ...Take Fox-Limbaugh & Co, for example, an entire industry making bombastic armchair postulating seem both reasonable and feelsgood. Only the liberals hate FOX. Perhaps. But plenty of fair-minded smart folks watch it in the closet, or are otherwise ashamed of it. Myself? I'm a liberal on many issues. I hate it cuz it's a place where the dittoheads&Co go to exclude themseves from reality (all other POV). I find the NBC news with Brian Williams and Katie Curic just as maddening, because they refuse to talk about anything controversial, and don't report any news that is damaging to their God, Barak Obama. So, one man's poison is another man's mantra...... Nothing wrong with some FoxLimbaugh&Co as long as it's sprinkeled in with some Lefty Rachel Maddow, Thom Hartmann, some Charlie Rose, Newshour, ABC etc..... Which is what I do. For example, I know Limbaugh better than knows himself, and double for his army of parrots. My "weakness" regarding fairness is not enough Big Three news and too much Newshour. ...and zero CNN just cuz I don't get cable, and at friend's I..... Katie Curic just as maddening, because they refuse to talk about anything controversial, and don't report any news that is damaging to their God, Barak Obama. So, one man's poison is another man's mantra...... Good point, but in moderation. like candy is good, but... And same-same for (concept Air America Radio. And mainstream corporate owned, corporate sponsored media? Did you know they write prime-time shows with specific consumers in mind? That's worthy of a 2-hour ponder. ....the feelsgood gods: ratings-based corporate sponsors. FoxLimbaugh&Co almost exclusively might rot yer mind even faster than (concept Air America Radio would. My, do they dish the dirt! What's true about both is; if ya spend all yer time sniffing for dirty underwear, yer gunna end up thinking the whole world smells like ****. The insane twist the facts to fit their world view. The rational change their world view to fit the facts. |
