It's almost as if it's not happening. And that bothers the hell out of me.Joe Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292424276289220622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-78382869832172041132017-07-30T19:43:00.021-04:002017-07-30T19:43:00.021-04:00The illiberal media isn’t interested in winning an...The illiberal media isn’t interested in winning an argument, but in silencing the opposition. It doesn’t just want to shout louder than you. It wants to use its institutional power to shut you up.-- MSN used to be my home page because I liked the layout and it was nice to see what the libs were up to this time. Almost every story had a comment section and they were full of arguing and name calling libs, progressives, socialists,(so yea, democrats)conservatives, middle of the road you name it. Unless you were brain dead you could learn something from the comments but the liberal media they drew their stories from couldn't really defend their indefensible position so; no more comments. The very few who really like the viewpoint don't comment anyway because there's nobody right there telling them what to say. The rest of us went looking for the same thing too. It's very unfortunate we have become teams or sides but that's what libs have forced on us all.

Mr. Horowitz even came on our site to leave a comment on her work (never before and never since has he done that).<br /><br />This coordinated shame and shun attempt by the soi-disant "conservatives" was a prequel to what many of them did during Trump's campaign. Same methods, but on a much larger scale.<br /><br />Illiberality is not confined to the Left.Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040064724546519425noreply@blogger.com
