I told you what their finding was, I believe it because I know for a fact that any study that include you regressives will automatically be negative about darn near everything, except the direction you disperse your hate. I've never seen a more negative, cup half full, paranoid and pessimistic group of hater in my lifetime.

What makes you think I'm a conservative? There are plenty of liberals who think the media has a liberal bias.

Well it was simple I simply looked over at your political lean that you yourself filled in and it says libertarian ,which are merely a group of right wing dingalings that by the definition of Libertarian are nothing more then anarchist for the wealthy.

THE REPUBLICAN BRAIN.

The Core Thesis: Authoritarian people have a stronger emotional need for an outlet like Fox, where they can find affirmation and escape factual challenges to their beliefs.
Insights from Chris Mooney’s book The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science and Reality.
That's just the beginning there are unarguable facts and a few that can be argued but it puts FOX News where it belongs and how it is needed by the right.

Do conservatives support SSM, massive cuts in the defense budget and a more progressive tax code? Do conservatives oppose capital punishment, the war on drugs and domestic surveillance? Is Chris Matthews a conservative? What about Joe Biden, Howard Fineman, Carl Bernstein and Mike Barnacle? 47% of the population feels that the media is too liberal. Are there that many people on the far right?

Gee do you think it might be because , cup half full regressive are whining about it all the time. Your conservatives in the last few decades have changed the percentage of a lot of things by the none stop I hate this and I hate that. Let me see gays, look at a couple comments back, government workers, teachers , unions, blacks, the poor, Mexicans, Muslims, Women we all know the list on the left side of the Isle. Your hate card is coming to a end though, because your hate is directed at the groups that have the biggest increase in population over the next years, It's called demographics and they won't forget your hate routine. I know what you parties epitaph with be already.

You just said that you know a given study is right because it confirms what you believe to be true, and rejected another book because it was from a different political position than your own. You are displaying obvious confirmation bias.

What you " hate " is some imagined cartoon characterization of what you think a Conservative is.

You have no idea what Conservativism really is and never will .

Conservatism isn't defined by those who oppose it on principle or those that lack the cognitive function to comprehend anything outisde of their self limiting bias.

You're " hate " is a personal problem, its wasted energy spent obsessing over a enemy you've manufactured out of whole cloth.

You airing it out for everyone to see ? More than pathetic.

It may not mention religion, but I'm sure that somewhere along the lines it talks about faith. And the title certainly mentions "denying science"...which is usually only attributed to those of faith. Which many associate with the Republican party.

But hey, if you want to go by a strict reading....

How many Republicans are there that are also scientists? Answer: Millions. So how can Republicans "deny science" if there are so many Republicans that are scientists?

About 6 percent of scientists are Republicans. The question is, why is that number so high?

Well in general terms, it's if your intelligent why would you pick a source that hardly ever tells the truth. That simply makes your truth wrong.
