Quote:You shouldn't hold yourself in such high regard. You didn't want to believe it, either. What is so misguided about believing the point behind the article? Is it because it would have supported an opposing political party's opinion about California? The moment YOU instantly believe anything on the internet, you will become exactly what you just criticized.

 

 

I guess it depends on how you look at it. 

 

Is it more important that the Right Wing media outlets are too quick to spread this stupid reports, or is it more important that the Left Wing media feels like it's necessary to lie in order to discredit the Right Wing media outlets?

 

Like I said, there are some things I wouldn't bother to question because they're so common. I would believe they're easily possible, and in an absence of evidence I would presume it could be true but wouldn't assume it is.

 

On the other hand there are some things so absurd that I wouldn't begin to believe they're possible without some documentation.

 

Anyone who believed the idea that someone was "fired in CA" for having a southern accent was likely enough to believe it was probably true without any documentation could benefit from a bit of introspection.
