I've about had it with these mouthpiece ''journalists'. They are all over the place, we are drowning in them.
The big one around here is Sean Hannity, I actually used to watch him on Hannity and Colmes. It could be rather thought provoking to see them duking it out and showing different aspects of the issues they were debating. Then he got his own show on the radio and the Hannitization of America began. What a disgrace, just because a person doesn't know each and every lyric to each and every verse of the national anthem does not make them Un-American!
Another one that I actually used to like is Bill O'Reilly, back when he had the O'Reilly Report, before the Factor when there was still enough room in the broadcast booth for him to sit next to his ego. He seemed to make logical arguments and think things through back then. Once he started blathering on about the evil secularists, of which I am undoubtedly one, and crying about the war on Christmas, it was obvious he was no longer looking out for me. Now he just seems to follow in lock step with the religious zealots.
I've picked awfully hard on the conservatives here, I know they are just as bad on NPR. Possibly it's because I have been known to side with them on occasion, usually when it has to do with money or firearms, and when I look around, I am embarrassed at who is standing with me.
Opinions are like assholes, I know, and there is nothing wrong with making your living on those opinions, but if you're going to do that, please, for the betterment of mankind, think your opinion through, don't just go spewing partisan political bullshit.

The belated lensman:
ReplyDeleteI can't listen to Hannity anymore either. It's probably just my age, but he get these arguments going on our local radio station where everybody is yelling at everybody else, and I can't tell *what* is being said. Utterly pointless.
