Weekly Article I'm not a real expert in philosophy and rhetoric, but I play one on TV, by Aristotle (Krustofski, a.k.a. Tom Ersin) Dear Aristotle, My conservative friends claim that the national media has a liberal bias. I say no. Who is right? Signed, Rachel Maddow ~~~~~~~~ Dear Rachel, This is an argument with no end. Your opponents will haul out the tired Sean Hannity platitudes and the prove-nothing anecdotal "evidence." In response, you and your friends will probably engage in thoughtful ad hominems, such as, "Ahh, yer mother wears army boots." The existence of a liberal (all-inclusive) media is probably impossible to prove or disprove. Only God knows; though, I often refer to statistics from Loving America the Al Franken Way, a chapter from his book Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. (As proof that Al has God on his side, He suggested titling the book False Witness: And the False Witness Bearing Bearers of False Witness Who Bear It). This is a purely theoretical question, anyways. Determining how liberal or conservative the media may be has little to do with my life. What with cable TV, Internet, and radio talk shows, I always know where to get my preferred flavor of news, be it liberal, moderate, or wrong--I MEAN . . . conservative. One possible way to suss this thing . . . (click here for full article) |

November 5, 2008 - DEAD: Hopes & Dreams of Fallacious Talk Show Hosts Everywhere Today, Barack Obama killed the hopes and dreams of fallacious talk show hosts everywhere. Despite Sean Hannity exposing him as an avowed communist, a fascist, a Muslim jihadist, an Abba fan, a hermaphrodite, the anti-Christ, a halitosis sufferer, and as the senator with the most liberal voting record in his district, the American people made their choice--and they also voted for Obama. Dittoheads gathered in Limbaugh listening rooms across America to lick their wounds. George W. Bush asked to turn his keys in early, and when he was able to meet the new boss, NOT THE same as the old boss, Barack graciously obliged. W.'s hair was a little grayer, and he walked with a little less swagger. He was dead tired. On their way out the White House front doors for the last time, the former President told his mentor and surrogate friend, Dick Cheney, that the 44-hour work weeks were killing him--and he's really looking forward to cutting out that half-day on Saturdays. . . .
