My own bias explains that imbalance by noting that smarter people tend to lean left rather than right and the charlatans tend to lean right because their audience is more susceptible to being taken advantage of.

I almost choked laughing. Classic Dunning-Kruger.

Wow I completely missed that part of the post.


Reminds of my facebook after the election... where I saw an English major say:

"This is what happens when the rest of America doesn't listen to smart people when we tell them who to vote for!"

See, reading things closely has advantages. :p You learn things that otherwise would go unnoticed. I am not afraid to admit truths about myself. I recognize them and can set them aside when thinking thoughtfully about complex issues. For me what is more interesting is that you both responded to that one sentence and just ignored the rest. You grabbed the red meat to feed your biases and ignored everything else. The longer narrative that looked closely at your "propaganda" escaped your thinking apparently. What does that say about you?

To whom it may concern:

In my defense I can only read faux intellectual smarminess like 10 words at a time and the vision goes blurry

we get it, you got BTFO and now you're on a pretentious rant to "prove yourself" because you're a lil butthurt, we're used to it, just gotta ride it out

CNN admitted that Russia is nothing so yeah. They will keep """"""investigating"""""" for the next 7.5 years and nothing will come out of it. It's just the deep state gaslighting libs lol.

So the video and CNN are the same

I'd probably put Bill Whittle and the entire CNN organization about on the same spot for examples of factual reporting and journalistic integrity

that video was my first contact with Mr. Wittle. I would put all media outlets on a bias continuum. I don't follow too many right sided sources and would know how to compare them those I am more familiar with. That single data point on Wittle points him into a pretty far right corner for me. he had a pretty good story at the start, but totally blew it once he got past CNN and tried to link unrelated items.

Going right to left I would rank folks like so without regard to the space between them.

Rush-Hannity-Fox-WSJ-USA Today-ABC-Politco-WaPo-CNN-NYT-MSNBC-HuffPost

I think that Trump has driven CNN farther left over the past year.

I am sorry that using more than 10 words in sentences is a challenge for you.

That would make any thoughtful response to my post quite impossible.

I now understand why you are only left with name calling [faux intellectual smarminess].

Have a good evening.

All your arguments are based on "mmmm i am sooooo smart and intelligent mmmmm yesss mmmmmm ohh mmmm so pretentious mmmm"

It's like reading a bunch of quotes from a 14 year old on /r/atheism

It's pretty sad, the pain of thinking you're ultra intelligent but being so insecure about it at the same time and having to constantly push more and more to try to prove it to anonymous people on a video game message board.
