So I'm listening to this conservative radio guy on my way home the last several nights (I never paid attention to his name--but he's in Hannity's old slot)
Anyway...I noticed he is always inflating numbers.
(Example: If he's talking about about the newly proposed Health Bill (850 billion) his number was over 1 Trillion.)
Last night he was talking about Oprah...He took a couple of light shots at some of the outrageous things, but mostly was very nice and complimentary. He noted her wealth at 3 Billion...seemed high to me. The Tribune reports her worth at 1.5 billion, but Forbes lists it at 2.3.
I don't know why I'm writing this down.
I guess I wonder if his (seemingly) constant inflation is intentional or if he has some sort of unconscious modifier.
And I'm not even look for an answer--I mean, I can't even tell you the guys name.
But I wonder what my conscious and unconscious modifiers might be? Something for me to think about.
