As a “leftie”, you are \*required \* to simply sit passively, while powerful media millionaires spit on you, and call you a disgusting human being. You may not, at any time, (even after their death), return these insults. Damn straight. New rule is that hating on hate absolves the hater, and leaves YOU the only hater. You must offer the other cheek to the stamping boot. ---

Can you be more specific about the dreadful lies he told you on this show we both saw? I didn’t say a bunch of lies (again, exaggerate, obfuscate, look at that over there! See my clever word play!?! Goddamn I’m good!) I was responding to BigT and his comment “…it’s misleading bullshit designed to play into its audiences prejudices and not to inform them” The transcript isn’t online yet. When it is I’ll quote it verbatim. It was pretty good. And typical of a channel that is “designed to play into its audiences prejudices and not inform”. ---

Regular analysis has shown somewhere on the order of 60% of their news being anywhere from ‘misleading’ to ‘pants on fire’. The sell fear, they sell lies. _Because it fucking sells!_ But profit and legality don’t change morality. ---
