    I worked on a newspaper once , the first day the editor pulled me aside and told me. We write propoganda and so does eveyone else, we bury some stories,we pull others to the forefront, we spin stories a certain way, so don't feel bad about doing it? Which facts do you want to use?
    Sure, everyone has biases. But there's a difference between saying 1) school vouchers don't work because student grades have gone down X percent while spending Y percent more money and saying 2) student vouchers are bad because X politician proposed it, and X politician once lied!

    To think there's no difference is just being willfully blind.

    And the fact that the press spins stories is a reason why they're only trusted by 9% of the public. If they argued HONESTLY, maybe that would be a bit higher.

    Hey Losers,

    Enjoy the fact your government cares more about maintaining and expanding their control, than they do getting out of the way so Americans can create wealth.

    Logic and Reasoned thinking? HAHAHAA Holy ing are you serious? I didn't think your kind could even speak of such words RG. RG, please educate your son on how to use Logic and Reasoned thinking to determine agendas instead of just choosing a side and becoming an Average American.

    This forum.......too many loser libs.
    Don't you live under the same government? Its no surprise Rush wants this country to fail

    Credentials mean . Sowell has been a potted plant at the Hoover Ins ution for 30 years. Micturition is an appropriate and natural response to him -- so I think I'll pee in the pot too.

    Sowell's a hacky, doctrinaire ideologue, not a scholar. His arguments lack basic logical integrity and are marred by embarrassing rhetorical flaws. But maybe that's what he's trying to promote. He teaches the right how to argue badly, and there is a certain guile to that.

    Good god, LockBeard. Instead of wasting time on epigones like Sowell, go read Knight, Friedman and Hayek. You're spending too much time at Pre-Chew Charlie's.

    Translation:

    "No, Random Guy, I cannot explain why increasing domestic drilling to decrease the % of imported oil would leave us just as vulnerable to political instability in the Middle East and the intendant disruptions in global supply.

    I claim to have the free market on my side, but, like so many conservative drones, have no idea what a free market is."

    I never did get Lockbeard to demonstrate his knowledge of the free market by explaining this.
