To me "extreme-ism" on both political ends must lie......
Sunday eve 29 Jan.
I popped over to Kate at Small Dead Animals and read several links and coments. They commented back and forth about Rabble and other way out Leftie sites.
To me, when one varies off of the mainstream general public consensus, one might find it easier to tell lies to get people off the mainstream to their fringe than to actually put up a convincing argument of facts.
I have noticed personally that people try to use the fallacies when no rational argument can be made to sway people to their fringe.
Look for fallacies when reading articles. See if the level of fallacies used increases as one travels more off the mainstream, wether it is Leftie or Rightie. Are they stating fallacies as facts. Namecalling. Making fun of other sites and other writers or bloggers?
Some people are so bent on their position and their desire to tell other people what is correct for the rest of the worlds' inhabitants that it borders on socio-pathy. The vain attempt to control other people in a manner that "the one" sees fit.
The Main Stream Media (MSM) is taking many hits, my opinion, they deserve it. They bring it on themselves. How? They allow politicians to speak what would be considered lies, allow politicians to dodge chosen questions.
My question to MSM is, "why the heck do you have politicians on that won't answere questions without lies or dodging"?
Ok, I know, the MSM won't get them on their show anymore if they have to answere questions and not get in their soundbites, eh? Therefore no TV politics show, huh? The politicians boycotting the politics shows that do no service to their cause.
Well, its about time the MSM put their foot down and sucked it up. The media has to hold the politicians accountable. Remember that word MSM? Accountability?
Acountability to their viewers.
Regardless of the drole, unsexy, boring one hour politics show it might make.
The actuall asking of what engineered steps are taking place, the who is precisely doing what and which department. The actual stating of which engineered steps have taken place so far. NOT, "we have engineered concrete fundamental steps and the appropriate steps are taking place as we speak by those responsible in committee and will be positively implimenting these engineered steps when completed during our mandate".
See, an answere of complete bull, and the MSM lets it happen.
MSM accountability.
Use it or lose your jobs to the credable bloggers and internet tv.
cheers :) majere
i have listed the common fallacies in a much earlier blog post and the ndp still do not count
