To Demir Barlas Free Republic is not a blog, and certainly not a cult.

*Cult members do not leave their own cognitive and/or physical environments....*Cult members have no empathy for rival views or the practitioners of those views. Opponents are devils; sympathizers are angels. Orthodoxy is all-important; dissent is unthinkable.
*A cult represents organized commitment to small-picture idiocy...

Let's see if these comments apply to CNNCBSABCNBCMSNBC:
*Cult members do not leave their own cognitive and/or physical environments. Online, this means spending most, if not all, of your time in the echo chamber of blogs aligned with your point of view. This has the benefit of inoculating you from even the possibility that your position might be wrong or at least in need of more nuance.
All the MSM networks report the same stories, with the same quotes, using the same "experts."
*Cult members have no empathy for rival views or the practitioners of those views. Opponents are devils; sympathizers are angels. Orthodoxy is all-important; dissent is unthinkable.
Studies have shown that the majority of viewers who left CNNCBSABCNBCMSNBC went to Fox News Channel. The MSM lambasts FNC as often as possible, ridicules them, minimizes them, and calls their viewers uneducated.
What was the point that this author was trying to make again?

Yeah, blogs don't have serious fact checkers like CBS News does, so you can't be sure that anything you read on one is the truth. ;)

This moron would of thought listening to the Nazis was "Being open minded"
Sir or Ma'am,
When you visit a website that has NO intellectual merit, like the Aryan Nation, Daily Kos or Democrat Underground, you do NOT waste your time going back to it. To continue going back time and again to such closed minded, verbally abusive, bigoted sites is not a sign of "Open mindedness" it is a sign of intellectual vacuity. This author demonstrates a simple minded mental incompetence that cannot make even the slightest factual or critical judgments. This author's mind is so "open" because it is utterly empty

"Cult" is way too strong a word. The problem is that all-in forums that invite participation across the political spectrum simply degenerate into abuse of each side by the other. When there's a general understanding that the participants are on the same side -- or at least not on the opposing side -- serious discussion can begin.
