That is what I would like to see on FR rather than a bunch of meaningless one-liners!!

I agree. I always try to post meaningful one-liners.
RE: That is what I would like to see on FR rather than a bunch of meaningless one-liners!!
EXACTLY! DITTOS.
I have been personally attacked here in FR for merely posting a news or remark made by someone in the news that some FReeper finds offensive without even asking me if I agree with it. They simply ASSUME that just because I posted it, I must agree with the item being posted.
Ad Hominem arguments are all too common.

Tucker must not have been watching his own show on Fox. Debate is the last thing that is on there these days. It became almost entirely preachy monologues and recycled “expert” guests. That’s far different from how his show began or his career previously.
I remember when Tucker Carlson would have Lefties on his show and would demolish them. After a whiles they quit coming on.
Well, those days are gone. Now that schools are so dummied down ... people can't even make a sentence with a subject and predicate.
Don't believe that? Listen to public officials and law makers, etc. Even journalists have lost (if they ever possessed) the ability to make clear and succinct statements! Forget young people... there is NO academic rigor in their 'education' so don't expect that they even recognize proper and meaningful statements.
There is actually a lot of that available on many channels on youtube, rumble, locals, et. al.
One probably has more access to such than any other time in history. What has to be recognized is that the MSM is not the arbiter of information any longer. While they still have a large influence, that is diminishing rapidly and access to news is being dis intermediated with almost astonishing speed. Since I don't have a TV at home, every once in a while I catch some CNN or one of those while sitting at a pub and just kind of gape at the pablum.
In short the future's so bright I gotta wear shades.
