“conservative moral relativism”
HA ha ha ha ha! OMG! I have come to the conclusion that somewhere along the way, I woke up on a planetary insane asylum. Can I wake up now? Please? This is a nightmare.
Gee, here I thought “Conservative Moral Relativism” was when otherwise conservatives tossed everything aside to support, defend, and continue to promote Lyn’ Ted. Maybe they are instead CINO?
Conservative moral relaivism??? Hahahahahahaha!!!
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Parent companies that employ these a-holes: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner. Don’t pay these companies to piss in your shoes.
An example of leftist projection.
The cultural marxist totalitarian media desperately attempting to reinvent itself to get back the Walter Cronkite credibility of the past.
Miserable failure.
“Projection” much?
the idea that there’s a thing called ‘truth’ — an absolute value that lives above and apart from the world of framing and spin.”. . . has a name. It is called, “philosophy” - the love (philosopher) of wisdom (soph being the root of the Greek meaning “wisdom”).If you love wisdom you love truth and logic and despise sophistry, a word derived from the Greek “sophists” - who, claiming to be wise rather than modestly declaring themselves open to facts and logic in debate, practically invented “the world of framing and spin.”
Author Tom Johnson, you may be onto something. Become a philosopher and eschew sophistry. Great idea!
But, there is a catch. To be a philosopher you actually have to listen as well as talk. And you know what you do when you listen? You learn. Which means, you change your mind sometimes. There is a genre of broadcasting known as “talk radio.” The distinguishing characteristic of the talk radio format is a host who listens to callers even if they disagree with them. And, rather than using straw man arguments to belittle the caller, the talk show host debates the caller respectfully.
To do the job of the talk show host you have to be a philosopher, willing to learn as well as to dish it out. If you don’t take on all comers, the audience will realize that your call screener is protecting you from debating many articulate people who disagree with him/her. The history of talk radio is that no one able to thrive in that format will be considered - or will claim to be - “objective.” There is a reason for that.
To be a philosopher you have to be candid about the reasons why you might not be objective. For example, if a journalist were candid about it he would recognize that he has been taught - for valid business reasons - to be negative towards society. And the other side of that coin is that the journalist - who gives good PR to one politician and bad PR to another - assumes that the government is controllable by journalists, and therefore is predisposed to consider government good. Government exists to control evil in society and in from the world outside its borders, so the journalist - to be candid about the reasons he might not be objective - would have to declare that as a bias to be accounted for when evaluating his statements.
So, yes - by all means, accept "the idea that there’s a thing called ‘truth’ — an absolute value that lives above and apart from the world of framing and spin.” Reject spin - even the “spin” that journalists are more objective than anyone who is not a journalist. Become a philosopher - and, if you stay in the business of public discussion of issues, become a talk show host. Because wire service journalism will expel you from their “objective journalism” fraternity, and label you a “conservative."
An advisor to the President used the phrase “alternative facts” to mean essentially alternative points. Now the liberal media wants to create an entire chapter of American history out of their distorted interpretation of Conway’s statement.
The LEFT invented “moral relativism”. Conservatives believe in Moral absolutes, Logic, Ethics, Critical Thinking, Natural Law, The Bible.
