Biased un-American bastards!

By The Erudite Redneck

I hate book stores! How dare those buyers and managers decide what I should be able to find on their shelves! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased bookstores!

I hate automobile manufacturers! The bastards! How dare those engineers and executives decide the kinds of cars and trucks I should be able to find on my local car lots! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased carmakers!

I hate soft drink makers! What biased jerks! How dare those smirking dopes decide the flavors I should be able to find on the shelves at the grocery stores! Then there’s the conspiracy between the manufacturers and distributors! Who do they think they are? America is going to hell because of biased soft drink makers!

I hate farmers! What assholes! Deciding what crops to grow, without asking ME first! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased farmers!

I hate electronics makers! How dare they decide what technology lasts and what doesn’t! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? I want my 8-tracks back! America is going to hell because of biased electronics makers!

I hate horticulturists! Whatt arrogant morons! How dare those dirt-loving green-thumbers decide what cultivars make sense in Oklahoma, without asking ME what I think! Hell’s bells! Rutgers is the only tomato variety worth a damn! EVERYBODY knows that! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased horticulturists!

I hate video stores! What hubris! To decide what I can rent from their stores! Who do they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased video store managers!

I hate restaurants! What a joke! Pathetic losers decide what to put on the menu? Oh my God! Who DO they think they are? Who made them God? America is going to hell because of biased restaurant owners!

I HATE it when people are so thick-headed they can’t formulate a precise argument against who it is exactly they hate in “the media.” I’ve got a belly full of it lately on a couple of righty blogs.

Make. A. Real. Case. And. Be. Specific. Or. Shut. The. Hell. Up.

Woot! Just today I had someone tell me "the media" has made a big deal about the real estate bubble, but there's no evidence of any bubble because real estate is still selling fast and furiously here.

okie dokie. So... the media invented bubbles? Is that what you're saying?
 
People have taken the old "kill the messenger" to an incredibly dangerous extreme, is what I'm saying.

One week without "the media" -- just one week -- and this country would slip into either anarchy or tyranny.
 
Oh I didn't mean "is that what E.R. is saying" -- I meant the knucklehead who made the statement. I agree with you 10,000 percent or more, you know that, when it comes to the role media plays in society.
 
OK, OK, I get the message....sheeeesh. From now on I will use the generic term "some people" when I have something negative to say against some factions of the media who slant things to their viewpoint.

ER, You know i love ya like a drinking buddy, but you have to admit. Some repoters fail to be objective at times.
 
"Your blog makes my head hurt," Dr. ER says. :-(
 
And some reporters don't even try. And if they pretend they ARE being objective, then they should be called on it.

But if they don't really even try to be objective -- like CNN at its worst, and Fox at its worst, like the NYT on an average day -- well, shoot. Just accept it, and either read ro wathc it if you like it, or don't if you don't.

My only point, really, is that it is meaningless to just lash out at "the media." It doesnt mean anything, and it does cheapen, further, the discourse in this country about things that are more important.

But that's me talking. And I'm, um, biased, about the role of "the media."

Uh oh. I'm caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ... caught in a temporal rhetorical causality loop ...
