One issue with an aggressive media is that others are afraid to share their opinion .
Like old soviet times. Everybody smiles and agrees with whatever’s said. Who wants conflict?
Who wants conflict?
I don’t want it in most aspects of my life, and most people don’t want it when it comes to politics. But I love a good political fight. I love saying “I’m voting for the White guy”, just to tweak people. Maybe it’s because I live in such a Liberal city (NYC), and because, for years, I considered myself a Centrist Democrat who hated cardboard cut out Left wingers, since I grew up in an area where Democrats were old school Southern Blue Dogs.
So when I became a full fledged Conservative (thanks to Rudy Giuliani making NYC livable again, with 9/11 pushing me completely over the edge), I’ve gotten such a kick out of being politically incorrect.
But I know most people aren’t like me. They don’t want to be controversial or ruffle anyone’s feathers. I can’t relate to that at all, but then again, I’m a FReeper, right?
