To: Peter Dierks who wrote (224115 ) 3/15/2005 3:18:13 PM From: tejek Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 1574054 do you have any idea the anger she or hannity or o'reilly or any of the other obnoxious, sick, over the top right wing pundits stir up in the left? And please don't tell me there are lefties who do the same. They are pikers compared to these monsters. You seem like a good person but trust me, this constant and antagonistic sparring on the part of rightie pundits will keep the schism wide open and deep. Do you have any idea the revolt caused by the Dan Rathers, Peter Jennings, Howard Raines and their ilk causes among the centrists and conservatives in this country. In addition, because editorializing at the center of the left is not extreme enough, you people have to recruit ideologues like Al Franken. Come on, you have to realize that the biased output of the FMSM are the primary cause of the chasm that separates the left from the right. If the NYT, CBS, etc. reported both sides of stories accurately, then their consumers would be able to draw their own conclusions. Columbia University (in highly liberal NYC) just reported that the FMSM was slamming President Bush three times as much as they were reporting negatively about Kerry in the 2004 election. Its too bad that you can't see about what I am talking. You may not like the editorializing of a Dan Rather just as I don't like the editorializing of a Sean Hannity. That is not for what I am condemning Ann Coulter et al. Its her personal attacks on the right.........the public displays of denigration that I find most offensive. Its those attacks that cause the anger and revulsion in the left. The left dislikes many of the positions of the right; however, they outright hate the way those positions are delivered. ted
