Articles containing an opposing viewpoint have the words "BARF ALERT" appended to their titles.

This journalist doesn't get it. The reason an article has a "BARF ALERT" is not because it's an opposing viewpoint. Rather, the thinking is ridiculously distorted. Usually I can't get beyond the 3rd paragraph without running to the nearest open sink.

To say there is no room for debate here is absurd. On many threads I have read intelligent arguments on certain topics (i.e. Social Security, history).

The worst articles aren't the ones that are obviously stupid (Zot bait). It's the ones that sound intelligent, until you read up close & realize the person has the logic of a cactus.

This guy is an "English Major" - thinking outside the box is heavily discouraged, if not an outright criminal offense. They're working on that too.
