1. This is their lame attempt to be "fair and balanced"

It is always an epic fail. When you have to dismiss facts and truth to appear "fair," then you are promoting propaganda and no longer reporting.

We are partially in this giant mess because media outlets like the Times bend over backwards to appease the right. The result is giving too much time and credibility to the vile excrement spewed by hate mongers like Dinesh D'Souza.

My feeling is that you don't get to participate in the argument unless you actually have quaint things like "evidence" and "facts" to support a viewpoint. Otherwise, go home and talk to yourself.
