That certainly raises her viability in my eyes...
“Groupthink defined.”
Well said and bears repeating.
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within groups of people. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints. Antecedent factors such as group cohesiveness, structural faults, and situational context play into the likelihood of whether or not groupthink will impact the decision-making process
The primary socially negative cost of groupthink is the loss of individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking. While this often causes groupthink to be portrayed in a negative light, because it can suppress independent thought, groupthink under certain contexts can also help expedite decisions and improve efficiency. As a social science model, groupthink has an enormous reach and influences literature in the fields of COMMUNICATIONS, political science, social psychology, management, organizational theory, and information technology.[1]...

I think that was Pauline Kael, the film reviewer for the NYT. But the point still stands.
But ALL OF THEM think Obama is just wonderful...
Why do we even listen to these morons?
“I don’t think that anyone thinks she can be president or should be president.”
But they ALL jumped on the obammy bandwagon regardless if he’d NEVER done a damn thing previously cept vote present.
Dumbasses, fools and retards still support his sorry marxist ass.
objective in one breath then tell us that truth is subjective
in the next breath? Hmf!
That’s because they are Leftists who have a visceral, unjustified hatred for anything or anyone good.
Do you think that people who claim to be intellectuals can really think when all they do is use their emotion to attack her ceaselessly?
Joe, I can remember like it was last night the 1980 election of Reagan. CBS’ Cronkite and the NYT Tom Wicker looked like they’d been told their dogs had been run over.
They just could not hide it.
I suggest it's the other way 'round. The Democrat Party is the political arm of the media.
“That’s because they are Leftists who have a visceral, unjustified hatred for anything or anyone good.”
That seems like an extreme statement, but, over the years, it’s exactly what I’ve come to believe.
To them, anyone or anything that tries to tell them what is (or isn’t) “good” is restricting their “freedom,” thus defining themselves, in the Liberal’s teeny-minds, as “bad.” Therefore, to them, good has BECOME bad over time... so it must follow (in liberal logic, of course) that bad is GOOD (witness his constituent’s reaction to Anthony Wiener’s little problem).
Media meaning the fourth estate of gubmint!
Why would anyone listen to them anyway.
MSM are ‘useful idiots’.
They are the FIRST to be eliminated during the purges because there is NEVER a need for professional agitators.
The dictatorship will provide their OWN ‘arse’ kissing media once they’ve seized control.
The media are digging their own graves, loading the bullets into the gun,obediently lining up for their own execution and are completely oblivious to this fact.
The only joy we might see in a future dictatorship is watching the tingle in Chris Matthews leg as the bullet enters his head while his probable last thought is to blame Sarah Palin’s e-mails for his demise.
They don’t know anybody who doesn’t hate America either.
Pray for America
Both, in my opinion, are equally repugnant.
That "any single reporter" must be one smart dude/dudette.
Since I take all my political advice from "any single reporter", I guess I'll just throw in the towel...since everybody I like for a candidate, according to "any single reporter", cannot possibly compare to The Great One, Hizhigness the obama.
Wonder what "any married reporter" has to say on this?
Right. No intellect involved THERE.
