because, to me, "leftist" means "Communist".
​
"leftist" just means liberal.

Re: On Faith's allegations.
Whereas the bible is also open for everyone to see, and given free oppurtunity, people if they have never encountered the bible, never really care nor wonder about it.
​
I can't say I've actually read the Bible. I've read parts of it.

Re: On Faith's allegations.
All I remember is alot of killing, persecution, suffering a few bits about health codes
​
Yeah, I like those parts. The business about how to prepare food I found quite interesting. Ecclesiastes is mighty fine.

Re: On Faith's allegations.
But as i understand, the 'best' way to read it is from new testament then to the old testament. I think the justification was that it puts the changes into context or something like that.
​
We're off-topic but a PNT about reading the Bible might be possible. In the NT, besides the Gospels, Romans is a hoot.

Re: The Classic Lie
It seems to me that what the "rightist" agenda wants to end up with is a "feel good" news media that only reports things that make people feel good, that it coddles to their political whimsy and the like.
​
I'd say you get that from both sides, but I agree with you that that's no good.

Re: Bill Moyers on media bias
I came to see that news is what people want to keep hidden, and everything else is publicity.
​
(from Bill Moyer's speech).
​
I like it.

Re: Bill Moyers on media bias
I find it hard even to read Moyers
​
It nauseates you?
​
I think both the Left and the Right are full of hot air myself. They're all so moralistic.
