Journalism in these United States was reactionary and lacked accountability in the early years of our nation and as it evolved it was forced to grow up.

Hmm.

I printed off three copies of your pathetic, crying rant because I ran out of toilet paper.

In case no one told you, Michael or "ferret" or As*wipe or whatever you're calling yourself today, free speech works both ways: you have a right to spew pablum and I have a right to refuse to listen to it. You have a right to not associate with people who do not share your viewpoints and so do I.

Debate, which happens quite a lot here, revolves around the exchange of contradictory viewpoints, which we all know every bleeding-heart, panty-waisted, tree-hugging, dyed-in-the-wool leftist/Marxist hates, even while they are crying a paean to the "free exchange of ideas". The debte, to them, means simply the free exchange of their own ideas.

Sounds to me like you probably got flamed big time over something and now, with your little ego all bruised, we're all fascists. Good riddence and don't let the door smack you in the backside...
