My Father-in-Law is a rich Liberal living in Connecticut. He likes a well-rounded view of the news: he doesn’t only rely on the New York Times — he also watches CNN so he gets both sides of all the issues.
I’ve tried to talk to him about this, but he thinks I’m crazy. The people in the bubble don’t know they’re in a bubble.
An EXCELLENT FACT that you so aptly point out.
it's a very SIMPLE TRUTH overlooked by far too many Americans.
“New York Times — he also watches CNN so he gets both sides of all the issues.”
Wake up. He’s getting the same side of the issues from those 2 sources.
They are absolutely living their leftist bubble.
Alleged famous quote: After Richard Nixon won 49 states.
Jonah Goldberg, 2007: “The late film critic Pauline Kael is reported to have said that Nixon couldn’t have won because she didn’t know anybody who voted for him.”
It is said she never said exactly that. Vanity Fair article”
The real quote comes from a speech Kael delivered at the Modern Language Association, on Dec. 28, 1972, as cited by the New York Times.:
“I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.”
They give the full political spectrum from Leninism to Stalinism.
