Political Pundits and Columnists
Even though I probably side with Molly Ivans on many of her issues recently, she is one of those pundits that I hate reading as much as Bill O'Reilly. Both of them are so full of themselves that when something comes up that completely negates what they say, they fall back into cliches of "things were great when Clinton was around, but GW Bush sucks" (a Molly Ivans opinion) or the complete opposite for Bill O'Reilly.

It would be so nice to actually read columnists these days that are objective. They don't exist anymore. Instead, they are so rightist or leftist that if someone is on the right of the political center, that person hates Molly Ivans. If someone is slightly to the left of the political center, that person hates Bill O'Reilly (or whatever pundits or television networks you want to fill in here).

What bothers me the most is that NEITHER of the two are willing to stop shouting for JUST AN INSTANT to listen to the other side with an open mind. No, instead, they spend all of their time preaching to people about how right they are, and when something happens that should prove to them that, hey, things can be a bit different than those extremes, they ignore it or, in O'Reilly's case, bully the bearers of information until the issue goes back to something easy to play around with again.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I hate, really HATE, partisan attacks these days. I really don't think it used to be this bad. And no, I'm not blaming one side or the other. They're both equally just as bad. They're unthinking, uncaring, and rude.

And the sad thing is: they always get defended by: "well, the other side has this guy or girl and that person's even worse."

Stumble It!
