Hey Agilis.
Russian scientists don't believe in global warming. Some of them say that if you want to get grant money, you're supposed to scream the world is falling and not "things are a-ok."
"I wonder if they all get their marching orders from Havana, or Beijing. Maybe even Teheran. Could be, right?"
---No, not quite. There's just pressure to conform, groupthink happens even among so-called smart people.
"Isn't Fox News great?"
---Yes it is. Unlike the anti-semitism of the BBC, the gun hatred of ABC, the Michael Moore loving of PBS, and the arrogance of 60 Minutes, they manage to provide both sides of the story. What a concept! So instead of treating viewers like idiots who need to be indoctrinated, they treat them with respect. No wonder they're #1.
"Watching TV, or checking an occasional news snippet on the computer homepage is much less taxing, and gives you all the information you need."
---Oh, people do read fair and balanced newspapers like the New York Post. But what do I know? I'm just another rightwing lunatic with politically incorrect opinions.
So you see, Agilis, not all divers think alike. We're not all tofu-eating-wolksvaguen -beattle-driving-celebrate-diversity-democrat-worshiping-left-of-the-center-radicals.
We're INDIVIDUALS!
