lulz

What if they say the big bad conservatives MADE them do it so they could compete since the big bad conservatives are doing it too? From what I understand, that's a valid excuse for everything under the sun Smiley: laugh

Because the conservatives do the same thing. What are you, nine years old?

No, you idiot. I simply recognize that any given media source has a political bent and are likely to collude with others of their ilk to send similar messages. Again; are you nine?

And yet, it was a group of liberal journalists and political operatives who were caught doing so and not conservative journalists and operatives. So your excuse of "conservatives do it to!" isn't really legitimate off the bat. Additionally, "it's ok cause someone else does it to" is a crappy excuse for bad behavior. It's either something our media should not be doing, or something that you think is perfectly ok. If you think it's ok, then say so. Don't excuse it by claiming that conservatives do the same thing.

Do you think it's perfectly ok for journalists to collude with political operatives to help "their side" with public perception of issues? If you do, then stand on that principle and defend it. I happen to think it's not ok, but I'd like to hear what you think.

I think you're both talking poo-poo. There was nothing in that archive that reaches even the kneecaps of collusion.

I went ahead and slightly highlited the part you obviously missed.
Does it indicate me being ok with it? No? Huh.

And no, I don't think consevative mediapeople do this secretly; I observe that they do it openly.

So, no, media shouldn't do this. But they do anyway. THAT was my observation, you thunder-dolt. All the handwringing about it is a distration for fools. Which is, obviously, the goal.
