I think you need to re-think your position on this. You've misread two posts now because of what you believe left leaning people are wont to do--not based on what they actually typed and meant.
When I explained the meaning behind HR's post, you didn't accept that as a valid response, but insisted that we are insinuating conspiracies in the mainstream press.
I think it would be more conducive to discussion to accept one's clarification instead of persisting in telling people what they meant.

I misread one post that appeared to be in a generally accepted/traditional message board format but was in fact used the opposite way.
The last line in your post is quite fitting and I agree wholeheartedly. Please keep it in mind.
In reference to HR's post I did not say there was a conspiracy between the "mainstream" media and the "conservative spinmeisters" I said that the implication by him is that the sole reason the story spread was through the conspiring of conservative spinmeisters. I then offered the most likely reason that the story spread. That reason is media's desire to play off events that have high levels of hype.
