“Blind certainty, a close-mindedness that amounts to an imprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn’t even know he’s locked up.” - David Wallace Foster

"These guys on the opinion pages in the last couple of weeks haven't seemed to me to be interested in learning, or listening; they've been interested only in presenting single sides of grotesquely complicated questions as if theirs were the only real and complete answers. It solves nothing. It can at most persuade other people to speak shrilly and reject alternative points of view; at its least harmful I guess it's fun and stimulating for the writers. That last sentence means that what we've seen so far this year out of what are purported to be our most concerned and active students is at worst propaganda, and at best masturbation. I'd love just once to see a "Student" political column by someone who wasn't all-fired sure he was right."

Who could this author be talking about? Later in article.....

Which all sounds great, except of course "explaining" the news really means editorializing, infusing the actual events of the day with the host's own opinions. And here is where the real controversy starts, because these opinions are, as just one person's opinions, exempt from strict journalistic standards of truthfulness, probity, etc., and yet they are often delivered by the talk-radio host not as opinions but as revealed truths, truths intentionally ignored or [b]suppressed by a "mainstream press" that's "biased" in favor of liberal interests. This is, at any rate, the rhetorical template for Rush Limbaugh's program, on which most syndicated and large-market political talk radio is modeled, from ABC's Sean Hannity and Talk Radio Network's Laura Ingraham to G. G. Liddy, Rusty Humphries, Michael Medved, Mike Gallagher, Neal Boortz, Dennis Prager, and, in many respects, Mr. John Ziegler.

What affiliation are all those folks mentioned?

Whatever the social effects of talk radio or the partisan agendas of certain hosts, it is a fallacy that political talk radio is motivated by ideology. It is not. Political talk radio is a business, and it is motivated by revenue. The conservatism that dominates today's AM airwaves does so because it generates high Arbitron ratings, high ad rates, and maximum profits.

-David foster Wallace

And as you pointed out ex lax, there are no progressive radio hosts as there are conservative so I guess we don't react like rubes when someone throws a little red meat our way.

Too bad you cons aren't as discriminating.

Hey let me know if you would like any more DFW quips.....you will enjoy so many.

It is a tactic by the Progressives to try and morph the two terms together.

Does it really matter? As you so often like to point out, it's just an OPINION. As a liberal, I wouldn't expect him to say anything else. Just proves what I've always said of liberals - they are hypocrites. Maybe he should have taken his own advice and LISTENED to those with an alternate point of view. Kind of hard to do though when living from birth to death in the liberal bubble of academia where everyone confirms one another's thinking.

And btw, do you remember the discussion about liberals being neurotic? Well, Foster sure emphasized that fact.

"Wallace struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, depression, suicide attempts, institutionalization, and at times inappropriate sexual behavior. Wallace is reported to have slept with some of his female students while teaching at university and sometimes exhibited stalking-like obsessive behavior when enamored of a woman." (from his biography "Every Love Story is a Ghost Story" by D T Max).

Have you actually READ any of his books con? I doubt it as I have and know it would BURN if you did. Read his nonfiction as well and I tell you -Wallace despised people like you.

Can't say I have read much of what he's written, but I do watch The Simpsons.

Also too, nothing on point about that study. Slammed it but I guess cat got your tongue or ignorance rules your brain.

Go ahead. Say something. Not an opinion. On point. you can't. not on that study. it speaks directly to the lying cons.

thats why they try to block everything. they know people are going to like their obama care as much as social security in the end.

I couldn't respond to that because I didn't know what the F you were talking about. Little p, you've got to quit drinking before posting and at least attempt to write using the grammar you were taught in elementary school.

maybe you should check news today about possibility of WAVE election.

bye bye cons. If not completely after this election, next.

Reagan and Bush official bruce bartlett today said party must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt.

tee hee

bwa haha

didn't i tell you this? That Obama would BREAK your party? yeah this smug liberal is locking pretty SMAHT.....

tee hee

bwa haha

try to be as prescient there con.

Let's talk about Obama, specifically Obamacare. You did hear the rates are expected to sky rocket in 2017, right? The new rates will be coming out just around election time. And whose signatures are on that obamanation? Not a single Republican. Skyrocketing premiums, fewer choices in the marketplace, and people fleeing ObamaCare in droves after signing up. Democrats running for re-election this year might want to think twice about wrapping their arms around this terminally ill law.

- ObamaCare exchanges have failed to attract enough young and healthy people needed to keep premiums down.
- two industry bailout programs expire this year.
- people are gaming ObamaCare, just like critics said they would, buying coverage after they get sick. Since insurance companies can no longer turn them down or charge them more they then drop it when they’re done with treatments. That is causing premium increases.
- Insurers have already requested 18% rate increases in Virginia.
- ObamaCare enrollment has already dropped an average of 14+% in five states since February, a faster rate of decline than last year, as people get kicked off for not paying premiums.
- UnitedHealth Group is planning to drop out of almost every ObamaCare market it currently serves after losing $1 billion on those policies.
- An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that “more than one in four counties where UnitedHealth participates nationally would see a drop from two insurers to one if the company exits and isn’t replaced by a new entrant.”
