Proof of Liberal Stupidity

Libby Copeland:

Those of us who rely on reason to vanquish our opponents find the perfect put-down infuriating. The put-down changes the terms of the debate; it replaces sober analysis with humor. It makes things personal. Anyone who was given a cutting nickname in seventh grade knows you can't argue with the perfect put-down. It's not a matter of what's right; it's a matter of perception, and you're stuck with it now.

Actually, the perfect put down works because it's true and exposed a major flaw in a person's argument.

What I found inexplicable is the statement that reporters "rely on reason to vanquish [their] opponents."

Huh! How about some examples? "Bush lied?" Yeah, that's factual, all right.

Reporters more and more these days rely on falsification, "fake but accurate" and "getting ahead of the news cycle" to bolster their faith in liberalism. When they publish outrageous stories, they never give retractions the same prominence they give to the original falsehood.
