We DO try to read (not watch, or listen to much, sorry) a broad spectrum of news and commentary at our house, from the Guardian and NPR to the WSJ and the National Review, and a whole lot in between.
However, whatever Mr Sunstein says, nobody, NOBODY can convince me that what the far-right has done and is doing is honest or beneficial. Talk about parsing info!!! Good god, have any of you actuall READ the National Review? I honestly think most of what passes for not just "commentary" but even "facts" in there is just jaw-droppingly stupid, if not evil at its core. And, no: I'm not over-reacting.
Absolutely, without exception, the information that these cretins would label as "liberal" (how that definition has been reduced and demonized is worth its own book) does not engage in the same vitriolic debasement that the far-right does. Sunstein just can't convince me otherwise.
As for his feeble, "Well, I don't watch him much" "defense" of O-Reilly: Take the el in any direction from that campus sometime, Mr Sunstein. The air might be a bit rich for you, but you'll get used to it.
ps: Well done, editorial intern! Keep up the good work! =)
