There’s such a thing as being so open-minded your brains leak out.
Douglas Brinkley casts himself as an historian. He is more appropriately in the propagandists category.
In high school, friends admonished me to “not be so opened minded that my brains fell out” or “not be so broad minded that I became flat headed.”
I’ve always tried to take that advise. It has served me well!
Liberals hate anyone who doesn't agree with them and attack anyone and everyone who tries to shatter their closed minded fairy world where socialism/communism actually works.
It’s a total vacuum in there.
Walter Cronkite wrote “liberal” columns after retiring from reporting.But it should have been predicted that journalism as entertainment/self-fulfillment would be socialistic - after all, if you entertain/flatter your audience by promoting the idea that emotional reactions are equivalent to thought, and if you promote the idea that you yourself are more interested in the public welfare than anyone who actually provides a concrete product or service against a bottom line, you are promoting socialism. All socialism is is second guessing, and demanding that your good intentions trump your lack of bottom line productivity.
Journalism is interesting the public. Things that interest the public are quite frequently in opposition to the public interest, tho.
It’s often possible to tell a lot about the character of someone by how they treat waiters, drivers, baggage handlers, maids, etc...
You all know who I mean...The “little people”...
My one-time and blessedly brief exposure to Walter Cronkite left me with the solid impression he was an arrogant ass...
Classic liberals were open minded.
Liberal and Liberty have long parted company.
But, liberal bias is closed-minded to conservative thought.
“Chip doesn’t know why it might be biased to suggest great affinity between Goldwater and the Nazis of Bavaria”
Chip is lying or stupid. His dad was spewing agitprop for Marxists/Communists/Progressives and now he is following his footsteps. These Marxists are so ignorant as they try to tear down and undermine the greatest society in the history of man.
Journalism should be about the truth and as Solzhenitsyn and Sen. McCarthy and many others knew-—there is just lies and agitprop in the US newsrooms. They lied and destroyed Sen. McCarthy (Blacklisted by History: The True Story about Senator Joseph McCarthy). The newspapers create perceptions-—by the way they twist the news and bastardize words-—to the point of today, we have such media created concepts as “homosexual” marriage. Completely a bizarre and silly concept. (and evil)-—all to destroy order and create chaos—especially in the minds of the children.
His other justification for being a puke lib was that he expected anyone who dealt with the huddled masses -- policeman, beat reporters, etc., had to be liberal because of what they saw. I shit you not, this was Uncle Walter's solipsism of life. Chip is a dumbass -- what could anyone else possibly expect from Kranky's get?
From FBI files which have been made public, it is clear Cronkite was supporting America’s enemies and not just a little bit.
In a just world not full of leftist 5th columnists, Cronkite would have been tried, found guilty, then publicly hanged.
Same thing for Jane Fonda.
Actually nearly all journalists would have been hanged for treason, well maybe not. When they saw the first few being strung up they would have piped down with the pro Communist propaganda.
This is more of the Left softening up the masses for indoctrination into moral relativism. It is thinking born of immature emotions—not reason—just uncontrolled urges to be manipulated by their Marxist masters.
