a common truth= Listener friendly lies

[jammer]

"Now, because we've fractioned into little pieces, you go look for the things that reinforce what you already believe to be fact and don't get a common truth."

And that's bad? To hear other viewpoints? To be able to question canards that have become "common truth"? I think he's made a correct statement here, but I think it undercuts his argument.

"I will be airing my concerns to President Sheen later this week", Clooney added.

Next thing you know, he'll be wearing glasses. That's how you know that a Hollywood star is a "deep thinker."

[groanup]

Let me get this straight, Clooney prefers a world where information is controlled by a few hundred media types who live in a liberal cesspool and attend latte' parties together every Friday night, to a world of vast information resources from every corner and every persuasion. Right.

[loreldan]

His logic is off. He said essentially that he developed his beliefs and now can't find evidence on TV to back them up! Are his beliefs wrong maybe?!? He should find out the facts first and then develop a belief based on them.

[jackv]

In other words the same lie told over and over was a much better thing.
Dork.

[hombre_sincero]

He IS right! They are broadcasting LIES --- The LEFT's lies!

Oh - That isn't the stories he was talking about?

[BlessedBeGod]

Yep! And he's been fooled by it himself, as witnessed by his irrational tirades against this country.

[ladtx]

There goes George, thinking again.

[MEGoody]

Hollywood star GEORGE CLOONEY has slammed modern broadcast journalism, because he fears viewers are getting both sides of the story instead of being fed lies they want he wants them to hear instead of "a common truth".

There. . .fixed it.

[auto power]

Why O Why does this nit wit think we care what his opinions are????? Heart throb????? Pleeeezzze.

[jammer]

My thought almost exactly. You said it better. My thought was, "Nonsense."

[tumblindice]

"Hi there (eye-tooth twinkling) I'm George Cloony! You may not know me (heh heh heh, ladies!) and I'm not an expert in this area--in fact I'm something of a world-class knucklehead!--but believe me when I say . . (blah blah blah blah) "

George Looney is upset because nobody has watched (or believed) Nothing But Communists, Always Been Communists, and Communist B.S. for a long time.

BTW, I'll never forgive that Hollywood pimple for his cheap shot at Charlton Heston. He's not man enough to shine Chuck Heston's shoes.

[cubreporter]

it's called networking georgeeeeeeee. We GET THE TRUTH now and not what the media decided to give us. If you don't like it...tough. Believe what you want to believe and we'll do the same.
