Bias In Media

[The Human Q-Tip]

FWIW, I do agree with Haidt's argument here. People are quite reluctant to absorb new information or self-assess their own positions. My job used to be to go door-to-door to talk to potential voters, so, I've seen this thousands of times with perfect strangers.

This is the kind of thing where it is very easy to draw the wrong conclusion from how people respond. It may not be a reluctance to absorb new information as it is a reluctance, at that moment, to spend time listening to some stranger spout politics, or to waste time responding to them.

It also may be that after just a few seconds, they know they're hearing an argument they have previously considered and rejected, so it really isn't new information at all.

I just think that differences in moral principles, and how people weigh competing moral values, too often get overlooked. People argue facts when many times, it isn't really facts that are the real issue.

How people pretend Ben Shapiro isn't total garbage is beyond me:

I agree with his take on Last Jedi.

But... I don't like him. He is off-putting. He is like the old Jewish guy at the Deli that complains about everything but young.

"All this talk about the Black Panther. Oy vey, isn't it enough with all the Madea and Ice Cubes? Now we have to care about another schwarzer movie about a guy dressed as a cat? It's bad enough you can't get a good pastrami-on-rye in Queens but now we have this? Where are the Jewish superheroes? The only Jewish guy in these movies is The Magnet. He's Jewish AND a Shoah survivor and he's the bad guy! Who wrote that comic? Yasser Arafat?"

The GOP needs to hire someone that people like to speak for them. Like a business model.

The GOP: Solid as a Rock! @Jack Brickman @The Oi

Ben specifically said no more politics less than a month ago. It's not like David made the decision. He's just reminding everyone because some seem to have forgotten the memo.

Not exactly what he said, but whatever

What David said or Ben? Ben's direct quote was "No more politics on RCF for the foreseeable future. Find another home to trash." Since he hasn't said otherwise I'm working under the assumption that that still stands.

David. I've read Ben's post. I understand it. I haven't brought up politics at all. When people try to come into a thread and take over is where I have a problem. I'm done with the issue though. Have a great day

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say that you specifically had brought politics. You have a great day too!

Yeah I'm out, I just don't get how the owner tells you guys to do something and you refuse.it was pretty clear what he said, I'm not sure how anyone could confuse it. Posting about ben shaprio and civil rights and black panther is pretty obviously political my man. The owner said it, not me. And yes he's trying to control his own site. Not me. do your thing.

Keep grouping people up David. Don't come at me with the innocent card. You try to pull this all the time. Chief Wahoo thread is probably the best example. Let Ben and the moderators do their jobs

How am I coming at you? Yo responded to my post and I responded to yours. Grouping people up? What?

Do you care to address the actual points I made or is this a waste of time?

I'm pretty sure I did when I said let the moderators do their job. Now you're needed in the terrorist thread to be moderator. After all there's politics being discussed

Saying let the moderators do their job doesn't address my points.


And youre taking issue with me taking issue with posts rather than letting a mod deal with me? Do you see what you're doing is the exact same thing youre complaining about?
