> Another awful article. Rob, your reputation is at stake here! How about > some critical reading of articles before posting them? > The point of posting that article was not to be informative, but to spur discussion. I felt like it was crap immediately, but since there was a current discussion that was related to the subject I posted it, knowing that a large number of Americans take this crap as "gospel". I find your and Dans responses to this stuff to be more informative than the articles themselves. Secondly, my motives continue from the thread I posted "A Problem For Conservatives". From where I sit, Newsmax appears to be a pillar of information for conservatives and integral to the clade of Limbaugh wannabes. (Talk Radio) There are some quite conservative folks on Brin-L and we are lucky that we do not have to tolerate this kind of crap on a regular basis. To me that shows the quality of the people on this list. But I had hope to get comment from John, Gautam, or maybe Kevin on the subject. >You really need to find a better news source, Rob. Until you do, I'd >advise people who are short of time not to waste it on these sorts of >articles that Rob posts. Actually I would agree. I would prefer that people read the discussions that result from something I post unless they are hard core enough that they enjoy being integral to the discussions. I read *every* post most of the time, but I think my best chance at contributing is finding things worth discussing. On a related note, does anyone have suggestions for "Liberal/Democrat" News oriented websites? I pretty much have the more polemic Conservatives covered and have quite a few Libertarian sites in mind, but cant find equivilent liberals sources that arent blogs.
