Fox News?

I said anyone BUT the retard...

Though i am not surprised that you cannot even follow the easiest of instructions, it's expected from your kind.

You're the one blowing up and losing your cool. Looks like to me you're the retard.

I'll just put you on my ignore list, you had one post that wasn't that bad, but that's not enough for me to make an effort to respond to your idiotic bullsheit.

I don't care, i really really don't.

Cheerio.

OMG I'm so broken hearted! I'm being ignored by a limey twit.

OK, give me an example.

Londo_Jowo is using the classic argument, ipse dixit. His statement is true because he says it is true. No further evidence is needed, and none will ever be provided.

Back to the topic... Which one of these stories is left-biased? http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/

Don't watch them if you don't agree. I can't stress that enough. Tear yourself away from their programming. You do actually watch the network - correct? You don't get your talking points from your commie pals do you? When none of them watch either?

My housemate watches it, so it's on in the background when I'm surfing the 'net. One of the techniques of propaganda is repetition: Saying the same thing a thousand times can give it the appearance of having more weight. After hearing every single commentator saying the same thing over and over and over again for weeks on end, it tends to sink in that, "Hey, this is Fox News' message!"

There's really no stopping that trick of repetition from abusing our memory storage filtering system. So even though I have a brain and anti-psychopath tools with which to neutralize all vectors of the triple-injection method they use, I cannot stop from remembering the attempt.

I understand you're a progressive and you feel that your thought processes are superior to the rest of us. But remember that progressivism sprung from the left, so try to have some tolerance for the beliefs of others. It's at the heart of being a liberal.

Contorting yourself to fit a lifestyle label can make sense if the label maker was smarter than you. But there really isn't anyone who fits the description of, "Smarter than me," so I get to make the interesting experience of blazing my own trail.

You want tolerance? Try being right, and for the right reasons. You'll find that I find that quite inoffensive.
Next up would be being wrong, but for the right reasons. I can work with that.
Being right for the wrong reasons is quite gut-wrenching, though.
Being wrong for the wrong reasons tends to bring up a particular scene from Aliens.

Are you related to Craig?

No. After skimming a few of his posts, I don't think we operate the same way. His posts are indicative of a large baseline of high-confidence facts processed through high-quality thinkers.
While that's a really good system, it needs a check. That's what I do. I take crappy old rocks, mercilessly deconstruct them until I'm left with a core of tiny little faceted gems, then I give them a good spin so I can see the whole shape in my mind, then I put the pieces together.
It's nowhere near as good at coming to high-confidence conclusions, but it has its advantages. Being fine-grained, it allows one to examine the effects of very small changes to an idea. And when a large diamond comes in, it has a bowl of hundreds of little friends to nest in. The additional shape the nest gives to the diamond leads to more conclusions than the facets of the diamond itself point to.

It seems to work well for philosophical work.

The most useful single class I took in college was the one where I learned how to write simply and clearly. Some of you people really need a class like that.

I used to watch Hannity & Colmes years ago, now I can't stand it anymore.
