(114,904 posts)for instance, you say that The only difference between "Keith" and "Rush" is that Keith told me what I wanted to hear and lambasted Rush. They both make money and ratings telling people what they want to hear.
I'm a firm believer that confirmation bias plays a huge part in what information we buy into, but your claim about rush and keith, doesn't hold up. that is not the only difference between them. rush espouses things like feminists are "feminazis". He espouses racism. His quotient of flat out lies is significantly higher than keith's.
Politics really is NOT "just another religion". What I believe is rooted largely in facts and history as well as in emotion.
I reject the themes you put forth.
Again, I'd like to ask you about your claim that many liberals are as bigoted as right wing fundamentalists. How so? Examples?
