Hmmm. I just skim the first lines and delete. You send too many articles to get meaningful comment from me. Plus I like the debate.

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. TIA rob
Liberal/democratic news? Well CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN.......standard joke.
