Is Dissent ‘Legitimate’? Not According to Campaign Finance Laws
@55. GC:
That you are not aware of NewsBusters (www.newsbusters.org) as a counterpoint to your NewsHounds suggests that the echo chamber you are in is particularly well sealed.
I’m well aware of NewsBusters. Just wondering why baal was too lazy to link at all. In case you were wondering, there is a very simple difference between the two sites. News Hounds has the express mission of exposing inaccurate reporting, and is not based on a partisan premise. NewsBusters on the other hand is explicitly dedicated to promoting a specific ideological perspective.
This is the fundamental difference that the right always misses in this discussion. You are entitled to your own opinions – but not to your own facts.
57. baal:
Again you fail to understand the point. Your link was to a partisan site. If an argument can be derailed through SIMPLE word substitution its a poor argument.
The argument is not derailed by simple word substitution – the words are not the argument. The argument is the facts on the ground, which clearly demonstrate that Fox does not function as a news outlet, or offer principled dissent, but rather functions as an arm of the GOP.
Peace.
