Response to Original message |
| 13. Thank you! I really detest that false equivalence used so often |
|
on our corporate media.
It is assumed to be a "given" that the left does all the horrible things the right do, and yet it is very hard to find a solid example in most of the cases.
I find it really difficult to watch a lot of TV news shows, even cute Anderson Cooper, because of that fake cliche that "the left" does as much lying and bombastic smearing as the right does. It is a lie repeated so very often that I just can't hang in there with the full broadcasts.

I know, because it's not true. The left doesn't do what the right does. |
