They don't teach us this in journalism school.


They taught me just to show up at the disclosed location for the piece of paper that is handed out by the PR guy and bring it back, for the news! I noticed that our rival newspaper always copied our stuff; what gives with the plagiarism-OMG?


On a serious non-sarcasm note:

What a complete and utter blowjob fest so much of this world is now suffering from pointedly in the political, media, and corporate worlds. This just shows that we are evolving towards a precipice rather than backing away from it; I wonder if any of these idiots even realize it, as it WILL affect the mega-rich, whether they think they are safe on their private land with their "enforcers" or "private army" or not. If shit hits the fan, they WILL NOT BE. If society falls apart it will become...UGLY. I mean that in the WORST possible sense as I'm sure everyone reading understands.

Wolf Blitzer (as do many other prompter lead talking head "journalists" out there) calls himself a journalist, but he's the epitome of the very problem of the system--Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, THOUGH COMICS are closer to journalists in every way as they have integrity, function, ability, information, tenacity, knowledge, WIT, comprehension, and reliability than any of the leading "News" networks... I could list other qualities they have to be sure, they have a great many, both. But, the point is that are news and information is becoming rapidly vapid and obsolete except to the idiotically inclined viewers, that unfortunately seem to still watch and worse still believe and accept what they say as true... Even though much of the information presented is in the form a Junior High student could understand, showing that they truly do know their audience as well...

^upvote^ for a new euphemism for vagina: "the situation".


Now whenever I hear them talk about "the situation room", I am going to openly laugh. The thought of Wolf Blitzer wondering into a room full of vaginas is enough to cause asphyxiation by laughter.

Though I don't support the logic of "unless you're going to somehow guarantee that no one will be left for dead",


Me either, which is why that sentence actually reads "unless you're going to somehow guarantee that no one will be left for dead by those organizations".

By "left for dead" I meant denied necessary treatment because they're unable to pay, just like in the hypothetical question Wolf Blitzer is asking Ron Paul in that clip.

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:
Let us try that logic on a different foot shall we? I don't think we should legalize drugs because of all the new people that will die of drugs. I don't think drugs should be legal unless you can guarantee me that no extra people will die.


Wait, so you're suggesting that we shouldn't try to handle moral questions with categorical imperatives, but instead should weigh the pro's and cons of a policy to determine whether it's beneficial on the whole?

Have you finally had a utilitarian conversion?



This hypothetical about the dying man who can't pay for life saving treatment is a pivotal question in deciding what the right rules should be with regards to health care. If you want to insist that healthcare be "free market", then you have to play by the rules of the market. If you don't have the money to pay for a blu-ray of Glee, then you don't get a blu-ray of Glee. If you don't have the money to pay for heart surgery, then you don't get heart surgery. It's that simple. Anything else is "socialism".

You can try to handwave that concern about dying people away by saying "surely someone will just donate the money or a doctor will volunteer to do it for free", but I think most people aren't naive enough to think that's going to even put a dent in the kind of body count that sort of system would rack up over time.

So what's the reason why we should even want some absolutist free market in health care? Because it's cheaper? Because it satisfies some ideological fetish? Because some perverse moral philosophy claims it's just?

How many people's lives are those things worth?

Wolf Blitzer Jeopardy Fail

How can Palin be a pundit? She doesn’t know anything!

That's true. I was going from Hanlon's Razor, "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.", but these people know what they're doing - they are evil!
>> ^brycewi19:
>> ^gwiz665:
They hired her because of her celebrity and to cater to all the stoopids. It's blindingly obvious, but I doubt she has the ability to learn anything from this. Still... Wolf Blitzer isn't exactly smart and when you think about it, the talking heads at Fox in general aren't specced out to max intellect either. She might just fit in perfectly.

Oh, come on. These people at Fox News are smarter than they want their viewers to believe.
See Gretchen Carlson:

And that makes it worse - that they're hiding their intelligence in order to be attractive to the lowest common denominator.



Check and check.
