- Yup and I'll just leave this here -- (link) - Jovian Sep 3, 09:39
- Treating every single person on the other side like a radical is exactly how you get everybody on the other side being a radical. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:17 14
  - Not really, no. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 3, 10:07
  - Is that why every left wing person is a flaming radical communist? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:31 12
    - Did I say that? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:37 11
      - So does this only work in one direction then? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45 10
        
        Did I say that? You seem determined to catch me in some imagined hypocrisy... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:51 9
        
        You're saying that treating a whole side as radicals turns that whole side into radicals. I present to you as rebuttal, the last 20+ years' treatment - Reagen Sep 3, 09:59 2
        
        Fwiw, I don't accuse you of hypocrisy. I think you are largely principled -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:05 1
        
        Same here. It's important that we say these things, too. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:06
        
        "A news network should be balanced and unbiased" shouldn't be a controversial opinion... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:52 5
        
        The problem is that fair and unbiased does not jive with "balanced" any more. One party (with the exception of a few individuals that you can count - pmb Sep 3, 11:55
        
        Except that there is bias in treating sides as equivalent when the sides are not at all equivalent. - TWuG Sep 3, 10:06
        
        Balance and unbiased opinion, as with everything, is in the eye of the beholder. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:02 1
        
        I would very much like the GOP to be a partner in good faith in governance. But the entire party votes in lockstep - TWuG Sep 3, 10:12
        
        It's not. The debate lies in whether moving away from objective truths to cater to potential viewers is balanced and unbiased. - David Sep 3, 10:01
- They should just change their name to FEFN - znufrii Sep 3, 09:04
Yeah. I would mostly disagree with them but I feel like at least the Kinzingers of the Republican Party could provide reasonable and civil debate. -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 08:39 4
- I was happy to see CNN hired Jonah Goldberg. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:45 3
  - Author of the book "Liberal Fascism"? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:36 2
    - Is that all you know about him? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:42 1
      - I'm aware he's against Trump. But it's a bit rich that he's the reasonable one now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45
