CNN does the competing talking heads thing too.

All the 24 hour news channels do.  But I don't think Mr. Butthurt was trying to say we all suck equally.

Yes, all news channels have people on the screen who talk and give opinions.  Are you suggesting that because of that one similarity all news shows are the same?

No. I'm suggesting most news shows fit Butthurts description.

If you think all news shows are the equivalent of Fox News then you are past hope.

Why don't you stop inferring things and just look at what I've said.

If one were to come up with the antithesis of Cronkite, it would have to be Sean Hannity.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Well, Hillary kind of validated that one.  And Holder.

Bizarre. Your relatives are about as hostile and vicious as they come.

Yeah, what with her sacrificing those children to the Dark Lord living in a Pizza parlor.  And Holder, rubbing our faces in the fact that he was black.  We would never have had BLM if Holder stayed in the cotton fields where he belonged.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Is chanting 'lock her up' civil? I mean it is not like this is some kind of Democratic thing. Not that I endorse what Holder is saying.

So do you agree with her, Valmy?  Should the Democrats abandon civility until they win back congress?

No.

Though I am not even sure what that means. It is not like everybody is holding back with how they feel about Trump. Or how they felt about Bush. But I am sure some of us were civil.
