The weather is glowing. It’s a beautiful day. Don’t let it get away.
Hope it sticks around. The constant weather shifts play hell with my sinuses. Only last week I was turning on my heater in the morning — now it’ll be the fan at night.
I had a political notion today, so I thought I’d share it with you.
Conservatives often complain about affirmative action, on the grounds that reverse bias is no way to make up for prior bias, when in fact the ideal solution would be a lack of bias, or level playing field.
This is an argument not without merit. However, it suddenly changes when it comes to the media. Most reasonable-minded folks, even conservative ones, will, when pressed, admit that the Fox News channel tilts rightward. However, their corollary to that is the argument that such is okay: a “reverse-bias” is needed because other channels have a liberal bias.
What happened to the level playing field argument?
To put it another way, remember that post I had a month or so back about John Stossel teaching materials in the classroom? I opined that conservatives would be creeped out if, say, Ralph Nader teaching materials were in the classroom. A conservative reader opined that Ralph Nader was already in the classroom, and John Stossel was needed for balance.
See, to me, the solution would be to get Nader AND Stossel out of the classroom, and let the teacher teach. I guess I can be old fashioned in some rare instances.
I didn’t read what you wrote luke, but you sound like you’re espousing th usual liberal racsist attitude that sickens and disgusts me. YOU SIR
