    This is how the WaPo betrays itself as center-right.

    That was about the New York Times. Get yer right-wing nuts straight, buddy.

    I know, I was making a clever cross-thread reference. Also note that the professor who thinks the NYT was center-right, claimed that there is no mainstream center-left paper. meaning, he doesn't believe WaPo is that.

    @Horace ah.

    Fair enough.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Kinda depends. If the "plot" was writing "list of people I wanna kill" in crayon on the back of the CVS receipt, and the list included Ned Flanders and the Inventor of Raisins, would you be outraged if the story didn't make national news?

      Please love yourself.

        I think it's safe to say that enough evidence exists to propagate a desirable narrative at the top of a publication's lungs, if such a narrative existed.

        Education is extremely important.

          He was arrested for attempted murder. That's a fact.
          The intended victim was a Justice of the Supreme Court. That's another fact and it makes it national.

          And this is a "local story" along the lines of a home invasion or burglary?

          "Darkness" indeed.

            Fair enough. Passes the threshold. Just saying that not all such stories actually do.

            WaPo's a total joke anyway and the word's getting out.

                  It’s slightly frustrating that there are those who continue to believe that concepts such as “the mainstream media” and the power it exerts over public opinion, are wingnut territory. Frustrating, because everybody who scoffs at those concepts is a perfect example of someone who has been indoctrinated by mainstream media bias. The term should more accurately be popular culture though, rather than mainstream media. Same concept, but popular culture is more descriptive of what is actually being referred to.

                    The House bill passed yesterday.

                    I see Mad Maxine voted "No" as well. Not a surprise there.

                      I have a buddy who's been a SCOTUS police officer for about 13 years. Gave us a really cool tour of the court (including the basketball court at the top... the highest court in the land... one time). He said things have been, umm, busy lately.
