fightin' mad over here, man

While the Republicans cry foul every time a legitimate assertion is made against them, claiming that the ‘liberal’ media is out to smear them with that ‘gotcha’ journalism, they neglect to understand that the bastion of conservative craziness, FoxNews, has a right-wing stance that borders on total subjectivity. Journalism is built on a foundation of objectivity, not personal opinion and bias. When a network is populated by rhetoric-spitting boobs like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, there can be no hope and no expectation for unbiased, honest journalistic integrity. Moreover, even though said claims against the republicans are substantiated by reputable, non-partisan organizations, they still refuse to concede truth and somehow find a way to spin it and soften the blow. Their fellow party members nod in solemn agreement, seemingly accepting the bullshit they’ve just been fed. The republican base it seems, is conditioned to believe what they’re told rather than thinking for themselves.
