and second: if you can't distinguish between news infotainment and explicitly political infotainment you probably dont care anyway so it's not a problem when it happens.
and third, even if it were a problem, "the left" and the right are numerically equivalent ("given a normal distribution" which i am assuming means something) so that cancels the problem out even if there is one.
so no problem. and you're a snob for suggesting otherwise.
nice.

My post did not target anyone specific, because I have often heard the type of statement pointed out from many sources.
I don't understand the true nature of the type of comment made.
I point out why the comment confuses me, openly and honestly (I admit directly, and I hope to simply cut to the root of the issue) and I ask questions of those who hold the view that confuses me.
Now you, take my post no where and add no value. We all know how you feel about me, and we all know I don't care - so what's next?

Excuse me for attempting to communicate and to understand an opposing point of view. I read or hear a comment like that, and I think what I wrote. On this occasion I though it would be good if I challenged my assumptions. It is an opportunity for you and others to help a guy like me. In my view I would rather deal with assumptions with them put directly on the table than to have them hidden and a constant hindrance to mutual understanding. But, that is just me - I understand that honesty is not easy to deal with.
