Uhm, isn't that specifically what the Internet is meant to be used for? That and porn, of course.tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296761263276891805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22468479.post-88817007015413278462010-07-25T20:42:32.451-04:002010-07-25T20:42:32.451-04:00What I find hilarious about this "liberal med...What I find hilarious about this "liberal media" bullshit is who they complain about. I saw a headline about Paul Krugman being a "liberal journalist" -- no, it's an opinion/editorial writer. Whose columns often run along side those of the conservative David Brooks (and William Safire before him). And they rant and rave about how MSNBC is such a liberal news network, and how journalists needed to be unbiased -- yet they never, ever mention a lick about Fox News. I mean, really? Is there any critical thought process going on at all here?tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296761263276891805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22468479.post-80297256884255705052010-07-25T14:51:43.594-04:002010-07-25T14:51:43.594-04:00But we're dealing with people so used to lying...<i>But we're dealing with people so used to lying that they've forgotten the definitions of both honesty and critical thinking.</i><br /><br />I about puked when Jonah Goldberg wrote he didn't think Breitbart intentionally tried to distort the Sherrod story. Conservatives bitch about a liberal media but refuse to hold themselves to journalistic standards.

But we're dealing with people so used to lying that they've forgotten the definitions of both honesty and critical thinking. <br /><br />They're either pathetic or sad. Since crying over them would be wasted tears, I'll opt for the former descriptor.tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296761263276891805noreply@blogger.com
