" 1. The Left dominates the news media in America; and around the world, leftwing media are almost the only news media.
2. The media report most news in the light of their Leftwing values (whether consciously or not).
3. Most people understandably believe what they read, watch or listen to.
4. This is a major reason most people on the Left are on the Left. They have been given a lifetime of leftist perceptions of the world (especially when one includes higher education) and therefore regard what they believe about the world as reality rather than as a leftwing perception of reality."




What in the FUCK are you going on about?

Don't bother QM with facts. He doesn't care.>> ^RadHazG:

Cross begins with "Purposely misinformed people, the crazy shit that they believe..." and ends with...a bunch of crazy shit, like the US 'ranking 37th in the world in health care'.
Really? Just two slots ahead of Cuba?

Thats right. According to the last study done by the World Health Organization, seen here, the US ranked 37th. This study was done back in 2000 granted, but nothing in the US moves fast enough for us to have moved more than a few positions up if not in fact down due to the economic problems since then.
He's wrong on the child mortality rates as according to the current CIA's latest in 2010 seen here, we're at 180 with about 6.22 deaths /1000 live births. Other studies in previous years show that trend of 6/1000 pretty stable as far as I saw.
Poverty is pretty darn close however as according to the OECD here, we're the 4th. For the richest country in the world to have that many children living below the poverty line? Pretty sad.
He may be off on the numbers (it is a comedy show after all not a political debate) but like all good comedy he has the core truth down. We are NOT the greatest country in the world in these categories, far from it. Its great that we have so many children live, but what kind of life do they have after that? The difference between Cross and the Teabaggers is the Teabaggers are just spouting the opinions they've been fed, Cross is just slightly exaggerating on reality.

way to feed into the stereotype that the south is dumb and racist

and I'm sure David Cross cries himself to sleep every night thinking, "I'm not as cool as Dinosaur Junior"

I actually think his criticism is a little unfair. Maybe it's been too long since I've been in the bible belt, but the biblical analysis that I see on Wikipedia (which is very interesting) often goes back to the first known source in the likely language of authorship. It's neat to read about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_of_the_Bible
Oldest known New Testament text fragment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rylands_Library_Papyrus_P52


But, what he says is true. The bible has indeed been rewritten and translated (not very well in all cases) and altered over time. Kings, Queens, Emperors etc. all threw their hand in to 'tweak' the bible and try to make their version be the 'real' one.

Reading things like this show just how much people get in a twist as to which version of the bible is the true version. People spend their lives believing the WORD OF THE BIBLE without necessarily knowing even what version of the bible they are basing their beliefs off.

It's all ridiculous. Sure read the damn thing, but use your own mind and sense to take from it what you will, don't then treat every word in that thing as FACT and IRREFUTABLE. Because they are most certainly not.

Please don't bother me with the facts! My own mythology will do nicely, thank you.

Genesis.

Precisely. As I said to the naked man in the street, "I thought it would be longer."
