If DU can understand this analysis, than that is a true compliment. I don't trust a single thing coming from Newsweak or Time. Good or bad. That is one major difference between FR and DU. On this site, even good news is looked at and analyzed with a critical eye. The objective is to find the truth. On DU, anything that's "bad" news is a Karl Rove lie, and anything "good" is obviously true.
Yeah, DU suffers from numerous problems, the lack of any intellectual honesty leads the list. Their hatred and vulgarity also diminishes their site, although that is the part that makes their site fun to visit as they implode. In their eyes, their spin is the gospel truth and our spin are outright lies. Democratic spin is usually more factually-challanged.
yes--this is what i call using the baboon method... explain it as if you are talking with a baboon and need him to understand...
