Please indicate how so.
Obviously they change jargon based on their perception of current public opinion.
Public opinion which was changed by OWS.
It is indeed nothing, its as much of nothing as calling Welfare "assisted living" same thing, just another word for it.
There is a political reason why these people do it, and for OWS to force the reps to change theirs when you see how they treated them before, it's a huge step and you can downplay it as much as you want it does not change this fact.
That's perception for ya, great way to cloud judgement. your argument falls as flat as saying "Well, Glenn Beck may be opinionated, but he's not biased, he DOES speak of real new articles afterall."
Obviously you wouldn't agree with that statement because Glenn Beck isn't opinionated in the way you WANT him to be.
See, I knew you would ay that. And no, there is a difference with Beck and Ugyur, and it's not only their position, Fox has a huge history of spinning stories in their favor see this guy's channel. He's got over 100 examples of fox news bias.
Now I know Cenk exagerates sometimes he's a character, however if don,t think you will ever find him maliciously or ideologically hiding facts or reporting anything incorrectly, and if you somehow do I would love to see you post it here.
I argue in fine faith. I just see things for what they are. I'm not underplaying it, you're overplaying it. It's easy to grab a news article like that and take off running with it to see how far you can blow it out of proportion. Here's an example.. not a great example, but it still makes the point!
Bob the Builder turns down a contract to build a black guy's house, explaining he doesn't have the time or manpower to build the house in the time the man wants his house built in.
Tom: Bob the Builder is obviously racist for not wanting to build a house for a BLACK MAN! I can't believe racists like this still exist in the world! They should take his contractor's license away from him for being a bigoted idiot!
Reality: Bob the Builder has too much work on his hands as is and doesn't have the manpower to build another house in the amount of time the man wants it built. simple.
I don't think this happens, like ever. Or if somebody in that case would point to rascism he would not be taken seriously... and I am the one overplaying it now?
Obama makes a reference to there being 52 states.
Left: he misspoke, he's tired.
right: he's a moron! does he know even know how many states are in our nation? this man doesn't deserve to be our president!
Palin makes a reference to skinning a moose
Left: she's a MORON for talking about skinning a moose, he's not sophisticated enough to be vice president!
Right: so she skinned a moose, big deal.
If you want to look at an incompetent republican and a moron just look at Herman Cain. Now of course people tend to be biased for the party they like the most. I don't like the dems either, and certainly not obama. And I always try to not be biased.
Also I think we are straying away from the main subject of this thread.
