Ailes looked at the news media and turned it into news entertainment. This would not be possible, if not for the fact that the majority of Americans spend the majority of their free time on mindless entertainment, rather than discussing fixes for the many problems they are trying to forget about.<br /><br />In other news, I see that the regressive left is managing to re-institute segregation on ivy-league colleges. With "Rasa Graduation" for hispanics, "Black Graduation" for blacks and "Lavender Graduation" for gays. While at the University of Michigan, such students are protesting that the "masculine wood paneling" on the walls of certain buildings makes them feel threatened. Maybe it's time to re-institute Jim Crow laws so that these over-privileged, spoiled little shits can get a taste of what <i>real</i> segregation is like.<br /><br />This is why I no longer consider myself on the left. Above all, I despise stupidity and the left has become so very, very stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
