Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out. Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

That was a great piece. I simply cannot believe some of the insipid nonsense that the television media has the audacity to pass off as “news,” what a euphemism that term is becoming.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the Rapture. No more Christians!
It's really sad when you have to go to Comedy Central to get a sane and rational look at the news.
VERY funny.... Though I do wonder at the state of your 'news' media!
"TRUTH through Comedy"... Great slogan I think..
It's all about ratings, now. It stopped being about impartially reporting actual news stories a long time ago, which is sad and unfortunate.

I worked in the newspaper editing/writing business for awhile when in my 30s and couldn't take it. It was all about sensationalism and hype and I didn't want to lower myself to those standards. For most journalists in today's media, ethics in media classes in college were a complete waste of time. Fair and unbiased news reporting is difficult to find.
Also, another problem is that the general public seems to LIKE "newsertainment" instead of real news reporting.
Just got a 'This Video is no longer available'.....
Has it been pulled? Weird!
cyerkitten & all...
It was removed by YouTube ...but someone posted another copy. So all fixed...for now anyway.
