"Political Correctness..." (This is from an email...I cannot take credit for it, but I love it)...
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
THAT is perfectly said... ;) ;D
No offense, but I have really grown to hate the term "mainstream media."
If you aren't mainstream, doesn't that automatically make you an extremist, on the fringe, etc.?

I take the mainstream media simply as it sounds...the MAIN media...ie ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN, which seems to be on the same page, politically....the stream.
although by definition, FOXNEWS is probably the most popular in prime time news watching....

If that were so then Fox, WND, NewsMax, etc. are also "mainstream."
Or do you (and others) really mean mainstream media is any media which you perceive to have a liberal tilt? :wink:

I think it is a term, that was introduced by the right, which, before the rise of fox, was predominatly liberal news...such as ABC (Charlie Gibson ) CBS (Dan Rather) NBC (Katie Couric,
TODAY SHOW) MSNBC and CNN which are completely off the charts liberal....along with NY TIMES, LA TIMES & CHI tribune to name a few.....
I think only recently has WND and NewsMax has began to gain in popularity...and that is only to balance there is.....FoxNews has become the Number one news in American (at least during primetime)...
besides all of this.....
I love the PC doctrine....

Neocons do not appear to be hillbilly douche-bags because the media paints them that way but because they are hillbilly douche-bags.

And will continue to so long as we allow stupid people to breed. How's that for PC?

One more thing .... the term "mainstream media" is, in of itself, a PC corruption of the language. As you admitted, it was an invention of the right to describe the liberal media.
oh.... mcgonser ... take your silly little pictures over to the kids' table. Grownups are talking here.

Promise?
Bo, there are toooo many to post here but I have seen the pictures that others have posted. So let me get this right, others can post any pics of anything they like but you are trying to censure me? I missed where there was an election and you were elected to run my life. Give me a break!
Don't listen to them, Mac. I love the laughing cat. I love the cat covering it's eyes. I love Wylie Coyote. And I really love Hawk's quote about picking up a turd by the clean end. I intend to steal it at the first opportunity. Aside: if we were discussing Karl Rove, would we talk about picking up the Turd Blossom by the clean end?
thanks Lo: I was just letting them know how much I really do not care what they think. My favorite saying is: They are a legend in their own mind. LOL
