VOX.com: Here to Explain the News to Stupid People
Diogenes' Middle Finger ^ | 3/28/2014 | Diogenes

Posted on 03/28/2014 3:30:05 PM PDT by Diogenes Sarcastica

We all know the name Ezra Klein, darling of the left, WAPO columnist and MSNBC contributer, and if you been paying attention you know the name Matthew Yglesias, dubbed by many the Internet's version of Pee Wee Herman with a keyboard. Seems they and a few others have joined forces to"Explain the News" to, I suppose, the low info Obama voters of the world. I can't imagine another group who would have to have a news story "Explained" to them like a autistic child. But then again, we are talking about people who have limited brain capacity when it comes to facts.

From the Vox Website:

"Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission is simple: Explain the news......"

"The media is excellent at reporting the news and pretty good at adding commentary atop the news. What’s lacking is an organization genuinely dedicated to explaining the news. That is to say, our end goal isn’t telling you what just happened, or how we feel about what just happened, it’s making sure you understand what just happened......"

Explain means to comprehend. This is not a trait of the low information voter. I suspect what we have here is just going to be an Orwellian leftwing truth squad, dedicated to one side of an issue in the guise of the factual sincerity and integrity for people to unintelligent to think for themselves.

Is there anything other than your own material that interests you?

I’ve learned from reading here for sometime, to just ignore your caustic comments.

Yes.

It appears that you are just here to promote your own material.

Since I don’t want to give any traffic to the Juicebox Mafia, can you tell me if the site consists of scanned in documents written in crayon?

If you read my the post, you would see 2 of the 4 post I have submitted here were not my material and have links to the original material.

Question? Do you have the same perceived problem with my friends “Michelle’s Mirror” and “THE LOOKING SPOON” posting their blog humor here?

My post are submitted to inform.....perhaps you should look at the target a little closer before pulling the trigger there big guy.

Not since they learned not to excerpt.

So is that what FR is to you? A place to get your blog looked at?

I don’t excerpt my post.

You obviously don’t read what you criticize and are just a thread hijacker repeating baseless accusations and hiding behind anonymity. I’m not new here, I have watched you work before.

Thanks for appearing to have quit that.

Your content is irrelevant to the fact that you are only here to promote your own material.

Your hostility puzzles me. You come off as an unintelligent troll. I excerpted ONE POST because I was unsure about the formating.

This is the Blog forum RIGHT?

You assign motive -”only here to promote your own material”- with no basis what so ever. You obviously just don’t like bloggers, I guess because you lack the mental capacity to write anything other than accusatory comments to hijack threads so no one can have a conversation.

Thread Hi-jacked - Conversation Over!
