Yeah, not exactly an even-handed site there -- looks Republican in the
extreme.
|
Classic! Who cares if the article appeared on Barney’s newsletter? If you
are going to bother to comment, why not address the specifics in the
article?
|
Although bias should not automatically be assumed, a media source that has
demonstrated unrelenting bias (such as Ann Coulter or Michael Moore) then it
is not unreasonable to suspect bias in any given piece. That’s not to say
that such bias invalidates the piece, but it may have significant impact upon
the way the piece is presented, as well as upon what matters are handled.
|
I would tend to think that this line of argument can be used against many of the
sources (both factual and cultural) cited here on a regular basis... NPR, the
NYT, Fox, The Economist, The Guardian, DemocraticUnderground etc, all have
“unrelenting bias” do they not?
So does Reason for that matter (have a bias of some sort although I argue it’s
merely a bias for the truth)...

I noticed Ann Coulter stuff being advertised there, amongst a host
of other offensive material. What can I say? The only thing I might want
from Ann Coulter has nothing to do with listening to her opinions and might
even involve a blindfold -- for me!
|
Now that is “offensive”.
|
Keep your mind out of the gutter--I though Richard was predicting his own
blindfolded placement before a firing squad.
|
Richard WANTS to go in front of a firing squad? That doesn’t sound right to me.
Surely he means something else but I’m not sure what.

Getting back to the article, I think I have to cut this guy’s ideas off at
the knees. The numbers on the economy are cooked for sure.
|
For sure. Totally. I guess that the reality of Detroit as a living example
of failed liberal policies is too painful for the left to admit.
|
Correct! It’s much better to point to the failed US tax policy as a failure
of Dubya’s Neo-Conservative policies.
|
Is US tax policy failed? It’s broken, yes, way too complex, but some argue that
our current expansion might be in some way due at least in part to lessening of
business taxes and taxes on investments... I guess I’m not sure what you’re
driving at. Dave!
