What I Don't Want, Part II
This video clip from Keith Olbermann should be viewed by all. The point it makes about the rhetoric of Fox News is precisely why I don't want a 'culture war' and why I fear that us versus them paradigm. The hypocrisy of Fox News is staggering.
Are they as guilty as the man who shot Dr. Tiller? Probably not. But their language is not helpful, is not balanced news coverage, can inflame reaction from troubled souls, and does nothing to further civil discourse. It fits the definition of hate-mongering, I would say.
But civil discourse doesn't really sell, does it?
