[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Per Jeff’s reply I am one of the people who is quick to report right wing nonsense posts. It’s like you guys have been come totally unmoored from reality and just because six sources in your right wing propaganda echo chamber all agree, you think it’s fact.

Please, for the sake of the nation, go watch some PBS Newshour. Get a subscription to the Washington Post. Or maybe the Christian Science Monitor. Whatever sources you guys are consuming are leading you far away from rationality. [/quote]

OP here

I make it a point of consuming news from a variety of sources (including PBS and WAPO, which you seem to think highly of?) because I want to hear [i]all[/i] sides of the coverage. Because I’ve learned that truth/reality usually falls somewhere in-between the left and right biases of various news providers. It seems as though you don’t follow this practice for whatever reason, and prefer to only consume news from left-biased sources. If that is the case, I hardly see how you can claim to better informed than me. I’m seeking out a diversity of opinion. You are seeking out reinforcement of your own opinion.

I think you are doing yourself and all the users of this forum a disservice by taking it upon yourself to ensure that only topics or posts that meet your own ideological purity standard are seen and discussed. That mentality doesn’t a create a discussion, it creates an echo chamber.

If you’d prefer an echo chamber, at least have the courage to be honest about it. [/quote]
There’s no both sides. I don’t know you. But if I’ve reported your nonsensical, floating away from reality posts then you aren’t really consuming a wide variety of media.[/quote]
