SK you’re always trying to put me under and discredit everything I say. Yes I am saying that 80% of the people listen the to the media and don’t realize the media has a huge bias. They expect the media to be “fair and balanced” as they advertise. When you hear something 100s of times on TV it has to be true!

Don’t take it personal mark, I don’t. Nor do I try to discredit everything you say. I only discredit the things that you write that are either illogical or factually incorrect.
Like the libel/slander thing. If it’s written, the word you’re looking for is libel. Although with regards to Ron Paul, it’s unlikely to apply. The legal threshold for libel for public figures is significantly higher than it is for others.[/quote]
The same story ran in print and spoken word on several sources. You always try to shift the focus of the comments to the minutia instead of debating the real point.[/quote]
I have no idea what story you’re referring to. You’ve accused people on this blog of slander for things they’ve written on this blog. It’s not slander if it’s written on a blog. The word you want would be libel. But as I said, as it pertains to Ron Paul, it doesn’t apply. That’s all I was saying.
And we don’t disagree about much of the media not being fair and balanced. It isn’t. Irrespective of bias, it accepts rediculous rhetoric as fact. It doesn’t fact check. It continuously reaches for false equivilence. Discerning consumers figure it out if they want to.
