No, like Rush, I no longer need to read or hear what is about to come from the tortured mind of a libtard. I know before it is actually produced. As a FReeper, you are probably pretty good, yourself.
I never, ever stop reading up on the issues or what the opposition says. Reading The NYT or watching MSNBC certainly hasn't turned me into a liberal or I would have left the site years ago. To the contrary, they reinforce my conservatism as I can see through their illogic.
But what I can't believe is that I am actually having a conversation about whether actually reading the news is a good thing or not. I agree that all news comes from one bias or another but it takes critical thinking to arrive at the truth. I can never engage in such thinking if I have a closed mind and only post gut reaction talking points.
