So we've gone from faking unbiasedness to inviting openly biased folks to be moderators of debates. At least they're being forthright with the public. | |

But we've already seen what a smashing job they do with vetting people, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised. | |

I'm actually kind of pleased that the media has gone from veiled partisanship to flat-out saying "hey, we like THIS guy". Though it really hasn't come to that - yet - at least this is a step in that direction. No one is without their prejudices, but it's tiring to have these media members claim objectivity when clearly they have their own agendas. Just get it out in the open, and maybe you'd get some respect. | |

Why do so many so consistently avoid self-analysis and critical thought? Is that what they are criticizing when they toss around the word "liberal"? That's about the only consistent meaning I've gathered from their usage of the term.
I can understand emotion and fallacy - but does it subside for any real duration in some?

Chuck and cyphen are my bellwethers for bitching and moaning... if they're bitching and moaning, I am sure all of the radio "talent" they pay attention to is too.

True, and I have noticed such with great loathing, however is it really such a massive malleability or is it merely birds of a feather? | |
