    That's true if there isn't a liability for not following their path. Similar to the heretics and heathens of the ancient world... they were either severely hampered or punished for being outside the norm. Does that mean their beliefs held no merit?

    Beliefs that hold merit are rewarded in a meritocracy which is what higher education is.

    Punishment/Limitations are justifiable in this "meritocracy" of "higher education"?

    What would be considered evidence? Assault, shout downs (In which open discussion cannot exist), property destroyed/stolen, etc.

    Everyone may do it..But from the way people express opinions as facts around here, it would seem not everyone realizes they do this...Especially in that long post you had, you seemed ignorant that 90% of what you put as examples was in fact you just seeing what you wanted to see.
    There is some bias...but it is only some, and most of the time when it's being shown to you it is not actually a news broadcast but a show.

    Oh how cute. You say that 90% of what I said was incorrect, but you didn't point out ANYTHING that was incorrect. No explanation or even a specific topic, you simply say 90% and with the wave of your hand, it is seemingly an edict across the land.

    The news isn't on right now..but that I can google what ever I want proves you wrong so far.
    I'm pretty sure alot of you get your mumbo jumbo from places like this though.

    http://www.wmal.com/

    Feel free to Highlight the header, Shows...(the news portion really only talks about that boring stuff no one whom votes conservative really pays any attention too.)
    There you will find such fantastic hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Chris plant, and Michael Savage.

    I didn't call you a Lier..Just a victim of your on bias. You cannot blame the media for selling you what you want.

    LOL....what ? "The news isn't on right now but that you can google whatever you want proves me wrong so far" ?

    You are pretty sure that I get my mumbo jumbo from places like your link ?

    I can feel free to highlight the header ?

    What on earth are you talking about ? Sincerely, I prefer to have my debates in decipherable English, and I also prefer to actually back up what I say with an explanation and would prefer you do the same. Unless you can do so, please move along.

    No I have not forgotten what the OP was about, but you stating that " I get my mumbo jumbo from places like this", when in fact my "mumbo jumbo" is a result of 30 years of following politics closely and came directly out of my memory, and then telling me to go to where you said I get my material and feel free to highlight the header, hardly qualifies as an exchange of ideas or even a semblance of a debate. I'm sure that you are a nice guy, but sincerely, you are out of your league. Try learning to crawl before attempting to learn to run. Good luck to ya.

    Hmm...Just seems you are still stuck in the past. You take post too personally, try an reread. Your personal experience is just anecdotal and has little to do with anything. That I have to explain this again, is odd but whatever.
    It would seem it's taken you 30 years to figure out something most of us have known since 8th grade. Critical thinking, and media bias, separating opinion from fact, etc?
    It's 30 years later and your still doing it wrong.

    "you are out of your league. Try learning to crawl before attempting to learn to run. Good luck to ya."

    Heh, nice try. I take it someone said that to you an you bought it? Put you in hiding for a bit?

    Don't do it again. We are totally off topic now. Enough.

    Fox is way more "Fair and Balanced" than any other channel, but they admittedly lean right.

    It must suck to be a ******* and support the lying, corrupt, murdering Hillary!

    I, for one, am proud to be supporting her...and I will pull the lever over her name with enthusiasm.

    It must suck to be a conservative and have to support someone like Donald Trump.

    The media in the United States is made up of some very clever people. They are in it for the money.

    Yup. Today's media might as well be the old Soviet Pravda. Read it mainly for the laughs!

    Choosing the lesser of 2 evils is also a wasted vote. We still get evil.

    LOL. I've seen many many posts of yours. You can not say anything about others stupidity or brainwashing.
    Maybe you didn't get an education?
