"i hope palin gets assassinated next".

Oh the irony of such statements.

I have to admit I don't follow the news much, and I feel bad about that. But the clear bias that any one source has is pretty depressing. I don't have the time to be a multi-source news junkie. Not sure now if it's better to be woefully uniformed or just full of bias and incorrect facts.

oops, reading the next comment I realized that by irony, I mean hypocrisy. In my defense most of my comments are from my phone, and so rarely coherent. anyway, but yeah I agree with you.

i'd rather be uniformed.

you're probably better off. i check BBC in the mornings and i'm signed up for NYT breaking new alerts because i love flogging a dead horse (in this case, thinking that 75% of what NYT considers "breaking news alert" will magically become worth reading). sometimes i stay away from the news for weeks at a time because i simply can't handle it. inevitably, i hear people talking, it piques my curiosity and i'm back. eh.

I find Palin as horrible as the next intelligent person, but yeah, people are being insanely hypocritical right now with their attacks. It doesn't matter who you find to blame, who you declare the scapegoat, at the end of the day, innocent people were still hurt & killed. Stop trying to use it to step on your soapbox. (I mean the yous in general with their die palin die statements & what not, not you directly!)
