You are one of the sheeple...
Radio is the focus of only one of the five senses. A listener has to really tune in to the subject matter and focus on the content of the ideas - - one reason, among others, why so-called "liberal" talk radio has been and is a failure in the free market.
Television is a combination of sensory focus and it is far easier to distract and misdirect viewer attention from essential topics presented.
Considering that 90% of people tend to be more influenced by the visual, television has become a new religion. It is analogous to Plato’s cave allegory and the pagan Oracle of Delphi. Television as a propaganda tool helps create visual phantasms or fantastical images of the brain.
There are three ways people are influenced according to the school of behavioral psychology - - visual (sight), auditory (sound), kinesthetic (emotion). The kinesthetic or ‘feeling’ is also based on olfactory and tactile sense, just like Pavlov’s salivating dogs.
Visual images and sound portrayed can be used to anchor emotional and/or conditioned responses desired by those that present them, which in the case of television, is the Leftist television media, actors who create phantastical images in film, and Leftist politicians who pander to ‘symbolism over substance’ (like Rush Limbaugh always says about them).
The print media somewhat also uses the visual aspects of that phenomenon. Interactive talk radio requires thought; television does not and relies on this as a means to influence viewers. One should also notice the emphasis on interactive talk radio, something both "public radio" and television is careful to avoid; unlike most commercial talk radio programming.
...and you sure don't have a clue when it concerns psychology. Go on salivating... “It was a scientist on television, it has to be true...” LOL!
Was Freudian psychoanalytic theory of sexual stages in psychological development more accurate than accredited? The Michael Jackson Complex is fixation on mutilation of and deviance with human anatomy in the media. It is a social psychosis catering to the lowest common denominator and generated with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning in popular culture.
Should we really be canonizing special societal privileges in the law based on idolatrous fetishes?
Is that one of those ad hominem smears you referred to in the last post?

So is it fair to assume that you never watch television?

And this is relevant to the Mary Cheney interview how?

This may come as a shock to you, but the right does pretty much the same thing. You ever watch Fox News? Generally, the only ones who don't recognize that both sides engage in similar tactics are the far right and left ends of the political spectrum. But your point is well taken, that folks need to be careful of what is being presented, and have the intelligence to challenge those concepts that do not appear reasonable or rational on their surface.

Once again I'm not exactly sure what this has to do with anything we are discussing, but hey, I'm game. Let's talk about this forum. It should of course be conservative as it was set up that way, but some folks here believe that anyone who challenges a poster to substantiate a claim is somehow a heretic and should be banned. Some ping lists demand that everyone kowtow to their philosophy, and anyone who strays by means of challenging it has no business on FR. And they feel they can make a statement without any substantiation, and it must be taken as gospel. Is that the sort of "sheeple" you are referring to?

Well, again, I'm quite willing to link to all of my points. Are you?

Perhaps. But then why has homosexuality been around since the beginning of man? And why do animals which are clearly not sentient engage in homosexuality? Is it a choice with them?

You asked me that in a previous post and I answered you. Be specific as what special societal privileges you are referring to and perhaps I can better answer you.
BTW, you didn't respond to my answer on either abortion or Crowley.
