The diagnosis.
Call me silly, but when I go to the doctor, I want him or her to listen to my symptoms, perhaps run an appropriate test or two, then make the diagnosis.
I DO NOT want my doctor to make the diagnosis before I walk in the door, then hunt for a symptom that might support his pre-diagnosis.
So why is it that so many of us listen to biased commentary on right wing talk-radio or on the new liberal media offerings?
Their job? To find whatever fact or half-quote supports what they already thought, what they’ve always thought, and what they’ll think forever no matter what REALITY is.
Clearly because we’ve made our decision too – as they have – and we’re just looking for someone to agree with us.
Good for entertainment. Bad for democracy.
