There probably never was.

So today Keith Olbermann was suspended by MSNBC for making a political donation. Who cares? Was there any doubt that he is a liberal?

Fox news is biased to the right. Who really cares? Everyone knows this. Even the most hardened of right-wingers knows it is although they pretend to insist that it’s really “fair and balanced.” The same way many on the left will pretend to deny most of the other news networks (and/or their on-air talent) is biased to the left.

We are human beings. Newscasters and news commentators too.

I would rather every newscaster and commentator to bear a little (D) or (R) next to their name so that their lack of truly honest objectivity is justified. I’m not kidding either. I think Matt Lauer (D) looks nice.

I want honesty, not false objectivity.

stereotypical partisan, you are an idiot who can’t think for yourself. You are brainwashed. You are a racist, bigot, hypocrite. You are violent. You are too soft.

stereotypical partisan, you don’t know the issues, you are stupid. Me, however, I’m a free thinker and am on top of every single issue and candidate. And I vote with my conscious, not along party lines. I don’t vote for who celebrities (including Barbara Streisand) tell me to vote for.

stereotypical partisan, you make me sick. You ruin America. You and everyone who thinks like you. I wish you were more like me.

stereotypical partisan, I don’t even know you personally.

I believe a lot of political discourse is due to not by debating each other, but rather debating the stereotypical worst common denominator on each side.

We should stop. I catch myself doing it sometimes too, so I’m not immune or perfect. I do realize it doesn’t do a bit of good. The contrary, I believe.
