Huh. Guess he actually looked in a mirror.: Fareed Zakaria, one of the fake news media’s best examples of an utterly intolerant, closed-minded, anti-free speech liberal, actually said the following on CNN yesterday: “Liberals think they are tolerant but often they aren’t…Freedom of speech and thought is not just for warm fuzzy ideas that we find comfortable, it’s for ideas that we find offensive,” Zakaria said. He added that while there was a strain of anti-intellectualism on the right, “there is also an anti-intellectualism on the left. An attitude of self-righteousness that says we are so pure, we are so morally superior; we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree.” We should expect Mr. Zakaria to be fired by his utterly intolerant, closed-minded, anti-free speech #fakenews superiors at CNN any day now.

Haven’t watched CNN since the early 90s.
“An attitude of self-righteousness that says we are so pure, we are so morally superior; we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree.””
He’s right, you know.
It’s the truth. I can’t bear to hear their ideas because their ideas are evil or stupid.
We are morally superior.
The reason we are called the ‘Right’ is because we are.
Haha. Me either. I think the last time I watched CNN was the end of the Gulf War I.
The fools on the left are deniers. They still deny the outright horrors and human rights violations of Communism.
If they were in any way honest they’d be headlining the Communist role in organizing the BLM, Occupy, Resist, and TearDownTheStatues movements. Plus any antiwar movement there has been in the US including the protests against go to war against Hitler.
Me too except I’ve been forced to tolerate it in a few airport bars along the way.
Ditto.
Fox News since about 2002.
The exception was the coverage of the Gipper’s funeral back in ‘04.
Except for that, I have been news-coverage free.
Wow! Perhaps someone has been praying for this commentator to learn the truth.
Yeah, in most airports, it’s the only thing on. CNN is the only news outlet that actually markets itself to airports.
Nurse Ratched was late with his sedatives.
Agree. I hardly engage with Libs these days. I am fed up with being told how wrong everything I do is. Libs......is there ANYTHING they don’t know? And they will shove their ideas down your throat at every turn?
“He added that while there was a strain of anti-intellectualism on the right, “there is also an anti-intellectualism on the left.”
So he still doesn’t get it. He’s using being pro intellectualism (whatever that means) as the litmus test for what constitutes free speech.
