| badgenome said: What am I reading? Did you just have a breakdown of some sort? You sound distraught and rambling. - Fox News is not half of the press. - Liberals are biased. Conservatives are also biased. Everyone is biased. I'm not sure where you're even going with that. On that note... - If the media only cares about the AP because it's something that affects the media, then that doesn't make it the most important story in actual reality. It may or may not be, but that's incidental. That it will probably get the most attention is the result of the media being biased towards stories about the media. - Benghazi wasn't a big deal to the majority of Americans because the majority of Americans are, to put it very charitably, not well informed. To the extent that they are informed, they're informed by... well, the press. |
1No, fox isn't half the press, but their ratings are higher than every other news show. Secondly, there are plenty of conservatives outlets and media. I don't know how conservatives think the press is mostly liberal when conservatives hold sucha huge presence.
2Based on what? The facts we have show they criticize some things and not others. On the other hand we have conservatives who criticize everything. I would conclude that while benghazi and irs is not the pres. fault, maybe the AP is. But will we be able to focus on that? Will we be able to fix it and move on? No. Why? Because apparently, those other things are huge deals that the "biased liberal media" is avoiding, so therefore, it will fall upon conservatives to throw up as much of a stink as possible to make sure we only argue about completely asinine things that should be solved by their specific institutions, and not the pres. This is only going to end in trying to pass legislation to fix the problems and CONSERVATIVES ARE GOING TO BLOCK IT, citing some such liberal agenda. This is what happens every single time.
3I don't understand your third point. Is it important or not? You said it was. Now, maybe it is, maybe it isn't? Why the fuck are we arguing about things that we don't even know the importance of? Pick a side and stick with it.
4 The way you paint a picture, the majority of Americans (who voted democrat) are uninformed, shills, biased, and probably a whole mess of other things. What's so hard about thinking that the majority of Americans simply agree that Benghazi isn't that important, and what was important was getting the economy back on track, ending the war, and equality?
What's so hard about thinking that the average person just wants a fair shot, and wants to see the country prosper?? No, it's all stupid uninformed people with biases, out to get the little guys (tea party members) and teach kids buttsex, and drugs, and take away our freedoms.
Meanwhile, the economy is up, jobs are up, country attitude has been looking more positive by the month, and we're trying to pass legislation to protect the average person from insane hospital and insurance costs and discrimination. Oh but that's all fake. It's creative math, the country is actually worse than it's ever been in 300 years. This is all smoke and illusions, and Obama is going to destroy the country with the affordable health care act, he tricked you with the economy and with this "three headed dragon" (that we can't even show he was involved in) and he'll trick you with healthcare. Fucking any reason to impede progress. God forbid we fucking hunker down and solve important problems.
I'm just done with politics. Waste of time.
