Not mad, exasperated with people like yourself whom walk around staring
down their pointy little noses with the same arrogance they accuse the
other side of doing.

You bitch and bellyache about the talking heads in the media yet you admit
not watching the media.

You come in stating that people of your like mindedness have been proven to
have higher IQ's than those whom dont believe as you, like that is going to
make people take what you say seriously.

I actually heard that partisan bullshit after the 04 election with the red
state versus blue state bullshit.

You need to stop worrying about the fact that others freely chose to
believe contrary to your own beliefs, be thankful we arent robots devoid of
free thought.

You need to acknowledge that everyone has the same rights that you *claim*
for yourself to believe as they so choose. I have heard left wing talking
heads say the same scary shit that you fear from people such as Beck and
Limbaugh.

You need to be able to distinguish the difference between reporting the
news and editorials on the news.

Picking a recent big news story, did Foxnews *report* Michael Jacksons
death any differently than CNN, MSNBC or the other alphabet soup networks
or printed media?

Then...

Editorializing, did any of them not have personalities not sitting in the
anchor chair casting out their own opinions on that story as well as
rounding up experts or even taking in audience feedback?

Every newspaper has the news and a editorial section, can you tell the
difference.. There are reporters, then there are columnists.. Stan you are
an authority here, jump in...

Okay Mike, maybe you dont watch or read the news, maybe you are into sports..

Remember the Vick case, you read stories that reported events as they
unfolded.. Then you had columnists stating that Vick is this, Vick is that,
should be able to play, shouldnt be able to play.. Can you not tell the
difference here?

When we talk about current events here in these echoes, you and I are not
necessarily reporting them, we are expressing our opinions about them.

If you want to come in here saying you cited facts, then prove that people
are getting their news from the talking heads.

What you dont know is that the Becks and Limbaughs of the world are just
different types of shock jocks, kinda like Howard Stern.
