"Fox News pushes "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world,"
Bill Maher and MSNBC and other news organizations (I just heard Chomsky on NPR and nodded my head so much I needed an aspirin) say all kinds of bull shit things too. Your point?
Is he joking? Correlating a news network - however problematic to journalism - to being "destructive for the long-term growth?" One would, as I've said in the past, think there are far more pressing issues facing what could "destroy" America than Fox, no? And what about "long-term growth?" Does he mean GDP? Hormones? Spirituality? Is this not a "scare tactic" on his part? My Lord, the vague illogicalness of his ways!
He may not like it (as many do) but that's subjective. It can't be connected to being "destructive."
I would love some facts here. He's been saying "long-term" a lot lately. Like he's selling mutual funds. "Think long-term" as a zero-sum answer is the call from a mediocre investor. The reality is, the short-term counts as well.
Truth is, he doesn't know if it's true. In order to be somewhat reliable he needs some data to back him up and there's none. "Americans are dumb as bat shit because they watch Fox" is an opinion. Not fact.
One can reasonably ask (whether they agree with him or not), why is he alienating that massive block of people - including Independents who are runnng to the GOP - with puerile comments?
Unless, of course, he knows he can't win those votes. Then he's free to go on and on pissing into the wind.
