Have you ever read the "Left Behind" series of books? They're about what would happen post rapture. They're well written, and don't bible thump too hard, but their real value is in allowing you a sort of...."cults eye view" of things. It's like immersing yourself into a cult, without all the risks of actually doing it. From that perspective, I found the books to be absolutely fascinating, and illuminating. You're understanding of cults, and those who subscribe to them, will expand exponentially. I mention this because of your comment about self awareness. Food for thought.

I read the first one when it first came out, and I enjoyed it, and I can see what you say about a window in, but I didn't feel an inclination to read more.

Good comments.

Ineffective? Not according to certain liberal demi-god.
Obama Blames Dem Losses on 'Fox News in Every Bar and Restaurant' | Fox News Insider
" Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we're on the ground, we do well. This is why I won Iowa.
It comes after Obama, in a sit-down with Bill Maher before the election, said that "if I watched Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me either."

Calling it ineffective is just wishful thinking on your part.

I don't think you understood my comment.

NYT''s minimum partisan bias ? You're kidding, right?

You don't accept any news report that is less than worshipful to Trump. That's not uncommon, but your worship reaches to the highest level. (See your sig)

So you won't accept any source which prints or reports a story that is even mildly critical, which leaves you with Breitbart and possibly the Reddit forums proclaiming him a god.

Rediculous assumptions rocket88. You're welcome to your twisted claims. I've simply stated the facts regarding the MSM. These facts are supported by the journalists themselves. They've gone as far a writing Op-Ed's explaining their bias.

Casting your rather laughable assumptions aside, I will admit it's very difficult to find news stories that don't inject some form of opinion.

Think about it, you do the same thing. For example, you appear to readily dismiss Breitbart as a news source. Why is that?

Perhaps you should reconsider who is worshiping, and who is objective. The alter you appear to be kneeling at is blowing your cover.

I wouldn't base too much on the Howard Stern comparison. He was a shock jock that delivered counter-culture for entertainment purposes so a lot of people who said they hated him are like the people who were polled saying they wouldn't vote for Trump but did anyway.

It was an example of why people listen to things that make them angry or that they disagree with. The psychology around it doesn't omit politics, in fact it embraces it. We see examples of that, here, everyday.
