SNIP:
Because my news aggregator of choice is Memeorandum (and Drudge) Ezra Klein was constantly in my grill 3-4 years ago. Then, mercifully, the lords of Memeorandum started showing him a bit less.

My perception of Klein generally is if he isn’t being completely ridiculous he is being totally revealing (in a shoot-yourself-in-the-foot kind of way) about what and how liberals think.


Now he has his own shop with Vox, and while opining on the demise of The New Republic (a magazine a journalism professor I had in college once referred to as “conservative”…she’s Canadian) he dropped this little bomb that he probably thought was a gem on his readers (bold emphasis is mine).

But what made the New Republic and its peer policy magazines so great was how restlessly, relentlessly idiosyncratic they were — that’s how they drove new ideologies and new ideas to the fore. They were worse at covering policy than their digital successors, but probably better at thinking. Part of this was because they simply cared less what the audience thought — they saw their role as telling their audience what to think,

When I finally got an answer from one of my friends who actually
sides with conservatives against the insurance mandates,
he explained he depended on voting Democrat as the only
way to say NO to the Conservatives and Christians he can't stand.

He'd rather run the risk of problems posed and pushed by Democrats
than put up with the religious right he fears worse.

Their goal is to bully back what is perceived to be the bigger bully.

Everything else goes out the window.

The point is to oppose Conservative Christians who
are demonized as the big threat to freedom.

So if you want to undo all that damage,
the best way is to push for the same Constitutional
principles, not to compromise those,
but to lay off from the negative rhetoric.

It's okay to hold Democrats to their own,
that DOES need to stay firm and unwavering.

But any fear of rejection, exclusion, bullying or
fighting AGAINST Democrats and liberals
just incites more and more opposition and
dependence on the party politicians to fight
this perceived enemy, unwilling to work with each other.

People are so afraid that backing off
means to cmpromise their principles,
they defeat their own purpose.

The Democrat push for the health care
goes against prochoice, but is pushed anyway
for fear that opposition will crumble it, and "hoping"
that by pushing it, it can be reformed. So it is pushed
as a political strategy, regardless what that bill says.
They push it for the sake of standing for change
and any opponents to it are against change.

Bunch of BS.

Just posturing for points in the media.
Fighting to be the bigger predominant bully.

That's what the parties are used for,
instead of using those structures to represent and organize the
people and work out issues among themselves.

MSNBC's Wagner: Obama No Dictator . . . Compared to Kim Jong Un
ByMark Finkelstein|December 4, 2014 | 7:10 PM EST


Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations: Alex Wagner has made the case that Barack Obama is no kind of emperor or dictator . . . compared to Kim Jong Un, the brutal ruler of perhaps the world's worst regime, North Korea.

Wagner was riffing off the news that Kim hasbannedNorth Korean parents from naming their children Kim Jong Un and ordered those already bearing the name to change it.
After describing other elements of Kim's cult of personality,Wagner concluded: "to all the detractors who compare our American president to an emperor and a dictator, this is what a dictatorship actually looks like. And to the 169 babies born between 2007 and 2011 named Barack: you can keep your name."

When people demonize each other by groups and labels,
they act as either Bullies or Brats,
trying to force change by coercion or exclusion.

Both sides do this, accuse the other of it,
and it goes round and round.

The media makes millions off it, so of course this sells!

Hey Stephanie:
Can you imagine if members of BOTH parties
stood together and demanded a $ 24 billion refund
from Congress for the shut down that cost that much to taxpayers.

And if they couldn't raise the money, then force the
private investors at the Federal Reserve to lend that much in credits
until the people responsible for the deadlock in Congress pay back the 24 B.

What if we had a Taxpayers Union
that rallied to collect back on losses to taxpayers?

500 million for Solyndra
1.6 billion for bailing out the junk loans MAXXAM corporation
got from failed S&L to buy out and destroy the Headwaters Forest
(which the govt spent another 500 million to buy back key areas of it)
etc.

If we stood together, we could hold these crooks in check.

But as long as they keep us fighting each other,
then they get millions if not billions in campaign funds
to go into the ring and bully each other at our expense.
While nothing gets done.

Sure. But as for MEDIA, the MEDIA deliberately
paints both left and right into opposite corners to instigate good catfights.

the MEDIA does not advertise solutions but hypes up problems.

the MEDIA profited off fanning and fueling the flames around Trayvon Martin.

Stephanie the REAL liberals and progressives are sold out by their own
parties. The same way the Tea Party tried to get the career and corrupt
politicians out of the Republican Party and get back to the Constitution,
the Occupy and Greens were trying to get the liberal side back on track.

Both parties have been hijacked by people who profit off the rhetoric and problems.

And the MEDIA keeps this going, keeps painting the Tea Party as divisively as
possible, the same way Zimmerman was demonized, because it sells.

As long as the MEDIA can keep the perception going, and both sides in FEAR
of the other side taking over, then of course the political machines can keep pushing voters
out of FEAR of the left or FEAR of the right, and electing
and campaigning for the same political bullies.

If you want to keep this focused on the MEDIA, well there you have it.

One More Makes 54: Cassidy Headed for Big Victory in Louisiana Senate Runoff
Barack Obama has been very, very good for Republican electoral chances.

Rich Baehr
Bio
December 5, 2014 - 10:59 am

There have been few polls of the Louisiana Senate runoff, and all those conducted so far show Republican challenger Bill Cassidy with a commanding lead over three-term Senator Mary Landrieu. Landrieu has won two very close races before (one with a victory in a runoff in 2002, the other in her initial race for the Senate in 1996). Landrieu received the most votes of any single candidate on November 4, but she was well short of the 50% level required to avoid a runoff.

Wow: Rolling Stone now doubts account of victim in its bombshell story about a gang rape at UVA; Update: WaPo issues clarification
posted at 2:41 pm on December 5, 2014 by Allahpundit

• 135 SHARES

And to think, this morning it looked like TNR would surely have the worst day among old liberal magazines that no one reads anymore.
A total travesty. But no lessons will be learned here.
Because of the sensitive nature of Jackie’s story, we decided to honor her request not to contact the man she claimed orchestrated the attack on her nor any of the men she claimed participated in the attack for fear of retaliation against her. In the months Erdely spent reporting the story, Jackie neither said nor did anything that made Erdely, or Rolling Stone’s editors and fact-checkers, question Jackie’s credibility. Her friends and rape activists on campus strongly supported Jackie’s account. She had spoken of the assault in campus forums. We reached out to both the local branch and the national leadership of the fraternity where Jackie said she was attacked. They responded that they couldn’t confirm or deny her story but had concerns about the evidence.
In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie’s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. We were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault and now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account. We are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story.
“We decided to honor her request not to contact” the alleged rapist is RS-speak for “we’re terrible, irresponsible journalists.” As for the unspecified “discrepancies,” WaPo found all kinds of details that the crack Rolling Stone fact-checking team somehow missed:

You should remember that Rolling Stone brought this apology and reversal to the table themselves. They were not busted by outside sources. Of course for you to appreciate that, you would have to have critical thinking skills, as Guno just said.

RS has also been on the forefront since early 2009 of exposing the huge lies the Wall Street banks perpetrated in the last 10 years with mortgage fraud, which caused the economic crash in 2008. Those said banks are just not paying billions in fines.
