I’m amused that a massive conservative ploy to try and glean credibility can be seen as a way to attack anything but that objective in and of itself. Your whole point and premise is laughably flawed!Jason wrote:Wait, does Seb think I'm attacking Sinclair, here?

You wanna bet Jason or I could randomly come across him at Disneyland or some shit and have a perfectly reasonable conversation with him? Over/under is at a 1000.
again, do whatever he wants. at least he's making pretense of an effort to be open to other people's viewpoints and opinions.

Also, that’s not debate, not openness, nor even intellectual honesty.

Being a political science student and protesting everything in every waking hour puts him at a disadvantage, I'd agree.zombie wrote:stacked because he's calling on random people who don't make a living at politics and are not prepared for whatever topic he's coming with.Reign in Blood wrote:

The entire premise of this thread is to point out that cable news is a money game. Which clearly went over Seb's head with that failed "gotcha". He listens to John Oliver tell him it's just a massive conservative ploy and eats it up like the brainwashed idiots who watch cable news.

Yeah, this entire thread went over your head.
Re: This is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy
I guess I could've been clearer in my opening post.
Perhaps if Seb read on in the thread and didn't assume this was a left vs. right thing...

Re: This is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy
Hard to argue that at this moment, the conservatives are far more willing to have dialogue while the liberals are into suppression of different ideas. It is rampant across academia, social media, and in the workplace.
