If they had stated ‘Ex-ACORN officials involved’ would it be ‘more correct’ not specifically but semantically? As I have stated previously their MAIN interest is ‘selling soap’. Do you think this article would have garnered any attention if it read ‘NYCC officials…’? I mean who would know who NYCC is?
Since the ‘right leaning’ news sources are much more limited in the ‘news/opinion’ market I believe it would be difficult to find another source to validate it’s reporting. Why would a ‘left leaning’ produce report that would validate those whose agenda are opposite than yours, Right vs. Left. Isn’t this same scenario played out daily on this forum?
Yes it is.
But I spend a lot of time here trying to sort wheat from chaff so thet maybe a consgructive dialogue can be entered into.
"Divide and conquer " is being applied to this country.
OWS (as far as I can tell) has had as a major component an attempt to foster dialogue OUTSIDE the msm spin machinery about the serious issues facing this country.
You know what we've done here?
Fought about negative reports, almost all of which originate in the conservative mediasphere.
EVERY SINGLE NEGATIVE THING that has been reported to have happened has been posted here at least once.
Every single one has been accepted as fact by those on the right here. Even when clearly debunked.
I would really like BOTH sides to STOP LYING.
When someone points out the left lying I acknowledge it if it appears they actually were. I KNOW they do lie and misrepresent. I DO NOT approve nor condone.
I RARELY see the same honesty from those on the right. Or most on the left, to be honest.
But it is FAR more likely for someone on the left to acknowledge and accept that they are being lied to by THEIR OWN side.
VERY rare to see it on the right.
Its a partisan world we live in. I don't dig up lies on the left, and I don't expect the right to do so either. But I personally do not pretend my side would never blow smoke up my ass. In fact I'm certain they do so.
I'm really disappointed with a bunch of people I have come to respect here.
I honestly expected better.
