That’s most people

Unfortunately, yes. It’s one of the first things we taught our daughters when they started becoming interested in news, and it was not difficult. At some risk of demeaning myself, any dumbass can do it lol.

It’s not easy.

It’s very hard. It goes against human nature.

That was not my experience at all, though I should credit my own parents for teaching me the same thing. I had a good foundation to work from .

My guess is you have biases of which you aren’t even aware.

We all do.

Human nature is to believe something first and then to the degree we look for evidence, it’s to confirm what we’ve already chosen to believe.

All of us.

Of course, and I don’t deny human nature. Back in the late sixties early seventies there was a popular bumper sticker slogan that still appears from time to time, Question Everything. It is a way of life that once instilled, becomes more or less automatic. One can’t help but be influenced by personal biases, I don’t mean to say otherwise.

They are however and like libs, attempting to push a vision.

Indeed. Conservatives never do anything like that.

They absolutely do. And Fox News helps to some degree or another, the pundits especially.

It is a Conflict of Visions, always has been and is irreconcilable.

Your mistake is believing you understand my positions. You only think we agree. You picked the wrong part to quote - in your bias.

I never claimed to understand your positions.
I agreed with that one thing you posted.

Guess it really irks you if you and a…“oh my God…a Lib!”,
Agree on something.

Odd world you live in.

Wonder why people have no respect for journalists or the media and deserve the derision?

What I want to know is who is the guy without the camera.

RTchoke · 2019-12-14T22:50:46.943Z

I don’t know if they ID’d him anywhere and I’m not sure who it is. I know they threw the Reuters guy out and Gaetz made an announcement about it.

The Good Lord doesn’t require me to like you.

That’s a good example of one of the reasons.

Also, it was the dem’s notes he was photographing according to Gaetz who explained how it was wrong and they threw him out.

when they set themselves up as the harbingers of truth while printing and repeating any and all unverified “facts” they’re fed by their political masters ad nauseum? yes.

You think they are setting themselves up as the harbingers of truth? Dude, I just see them reporting the news. Step back from the talk radio.

Ben_Natuf · 2019-12-16T04:35:28.928Z

haven’t listened to talk radio in years. none of them, and i mean none report the news anymore. its all narrative and spin.

To me, it is intellectually lazy to just make a blanket assertion that the media has set themselves up as the harbingers of truth while printing and repeating any and all unverified “facts” they’re fed by their political masters ad nauseam.

They don’t print every tidbit of gossip they hear. They have journalistic standards that they abide by.

The whole harbinger of truth stuff sounds like a drumbeat from Limbaugh or the like over the last 20 years.

Ben_Natuf · 2019-12-16T05:47:11.874Z

its true, they don’t print “every” tidbit, just the ones that fit the given narrative.
