And I suppose you are able on demand to come up with dozens of examples to "evidence" your view of what is left, right and center?
Your assertion was that the media was {leftist\liberal}, so lets stick to the assertion and not equivocate on it.
When I make an assertion I generally back it up with facts. Like I did on Botch lying to you, like I did on marriage and homosexuality traditions in many historical cultures, and like I have on other threads when responding to you.
But you are the one who made the assertion here, not me. That makes it incumbent on you to at least have ONE (1) piece of evidence for your assertion -- if for no other reason than to be honest with yourself.
There is evidence that the media is NOT leftist the way it is portrayed by the rightist extremists.
Part of that evidence is in Bill Moyers response to this attack on his program -- the evidence that you won't read because it makes you uncomfortable.
My views are representative of the right wing in general. I spend a lot of time with them.
I agree that they are representative. That doesn't make them {right\correct\true\valid}, just common. Having them does not pertain to honesty
per se either, that has more to do with ensuring that you have the facts correct, not just whatever you are comfortable with.
I'm quite honest with myself...
So you keep telling yourself, so that you can feel comfortable when shutting out information that makes you uncomfortable -- like the evidence in Bill Moyer's response. Like the evidence that the Botch Administration lies to you. Like the evidence for cultural traditions that include homosexual relations down through history and in all cultures, no different from cultural traditions that include heterosexual relations. When you exclude one set of facts to feel comfortable with what's left you are not being honest with yourself.
The evidence for honesty with yourself is not in what you accept, what you believe, what you spend time with every day, but in what you deny, what you shut out, what you exclude from consideration, in order to feel comfortable with your beliefs -- the evidence that challenges and contradicts your views.
True honesty looks at those things that DON'T fit your particular {world view} and if it cannot explain them in the context of that {world view} then must question whether that {world view} is in error.
Enjoy.
