Mike,
My point, not well presented evidently, was that in our age of communication it seems to be relatively selective when it comes to the old standbyes. Has PC infected our general distribution media? I say yes. Certainy there are myriads of alternate information disseminating bodies, including the internet. Even in colonial days, I'm sure there was the standard newspaper or handbill and there were the mustangs handing out their stuff on corners.
What I was really trying to say is that our multicultural/PC environment has emasculated a lot of the disseminators of information that reach the masses regularly on a daily basis. I think it's getting better because the internet, perhaps Fox News to some degree, talk radio and others are gaining a wider audience.
Many or our TV networks and major print media are not presenting both sides of any argument unless it is to ridicule the opposing viewpoint. I see that happening daily on the tube and in print media. You don't?
When was the last time you saw an encouraging or thought provoking piece regarding how firearms stultify crime; or how shooting sports are fun; etc in other places than gun rags? John Stossel is the only voice on the the networks and I'm surprised every time I see him do a piece.
Why do you suppose we don't see the networks or the major print media devoting regular time or space to reasonable debate about a wide variety of, gasp, un PC subjects?
You paint a wide swath with your brush, my friend, by making such a generalized criticism. I, at the same time, am guilty of the same thing from time to time.
My first impression of your comment was..."No *expletive deleted*it, Mike".
