In the very post of mine that you just quoted, I described the exact range of media that I study, which is everything from fringe right to fringe left. It is easy to match your comments about how you perceive the political landscape to the media that engineered your perspective, since I am so familiar with the entire range of media.Your post is heavily laced with subjective ideas that have been engineered by the MSM. I consume a very broad range of media from fringe right to fringe left, so I can spot where your perception of the political landscape comes from. You are processing the world through a lefty lens. You cannot objectively evaluate the political landscape as long as you are searching for confirmation of your bias.I have looked at "the bigger picture." The guy's an uncontrollable authoritarian bullshit artist who panders to backwards cults. Looking at "the bigger picture" requires looking at the specifics of an issue, something that the right-wingers do nothing to present. Just one example: "get a job." Okay, let's look at the availability of jobs, the skill sets involved, the availability of housing and transportation within reasonable commuting distances, whether the pay offered provides a reasonable standard of living for the worker and family, childcare options, etc. The devil is in the details, as they say.
Whatever the issue, the right-wingers need to start looking at the details, which they refuse to do.
Who watches MSM? You don't know me and yet you presume to know how I think and what I listen to. I process the world with an attention to facts and logic. At least take a course in torts, which teaches the concepts of foreseeability and causation. I've noticed that right-wingers seem to view everything in isolation instead of placing it in the broader context.
If you are studying tort law with an intent to become an attorney one day, you will be more successful if you learn how to size up a case objectively. This would mean studying how to beat your own client, not just studying what your client is complaining about. Before you spend a lot of time studying tort law, I would strongly suggest that you learn a much simpler skill, which is differentiating subjective from objective. As long as you are unable to isolate yourself from your political ideology, you will be limited to being subjectively objective.
Been there. Done that. Many years ago.
Physician, heal thyself. Then heal all the lawyers in the Senate and Sekulow, a lawyer who has lived his entire life in service to a political ideology."As long as you are unable to isolate yourself from your political ideology, you will be limited to being subjectively objective."
Take charge of your own perspective of the political landscape. The perspective that the msm has engineered for you was not engineered for your benefit. You can benefit from media that does not confirm your bias.
You persist in this fantasy that I watch MSM constantly and take my political cues from it, when I don't watch much news TV at all and this is limited to the weather, where the next storm is going, and general news of what's been going on.My TV watching is limited to Criminal Minds and such. Tell me where you get this idea that I am being indoctrinated in some way? Do you have some hidden camera in my house that shows that I am lying?
Again, where do you get your ideas about what I, a total stranger to you, do?
BTW: what do you watch? Where do you get your ideas from?
