Realclearpolitics: turning to the Dark Side?
Vanity | 5/16/12

Posted on 05/16/2012 7:35:53 AM PDT by pabianice

Quick question: has anyone else perceived Realclearpolitics going from an impartial source of political stories to a decidedly Leftist editorial presence? Flame away.

There’s a saying that any organization that is not explicitly conservative will over time turn Leftist. Part of it comes from Leftists having a desire for control. So why you and I are watching football, they are playing political games to take over power somewhere.

Yes. I deleted their feed from my bookmarks about a month ago.

To steal a line from Gallagher, Leftists are atheists, that means they have all Sunday to plot and plan.

I haven’t noticed it at all. And, anyway, it’s just an aggregator. If you once perceived RCP as leaning right, then perhaps there has been a shift to more neutrality. Not defending them, just don’t see bias there.

I wouldn’t say that, so much...

What you see is a BLIZZARD of stories from the left, and from Obama’s Journo-list.

Sheer volume would give that impression.

I think it’s been leaning left for quite a few years.

Leftists overwhelm the system with sheer volume. It’s a basic part of the Alinsky strategy.

Its not just that, its that the people on the right are not as fanatical as the left. The people on the left are obsessive about their causes and will work overtime to further their agenda.

IMHO, I believe people on the right tend to seek their meaning from God.

People on the left tend to worship politics. Thus, they are more fanatical about politics.

I have been wanting to ask if their religious stories in RealClearReligion tend to be anti-Christian.

It seems to me that the majority of them are.
