This is insultingly stupid!
Right-wingers believe that nothing in my 80 years of life shaped my opinions or taught me anything, until I was 35 years old and CNN began. Not my career as a self-employed sole proprietor businessman, not my two tour Vietnam military service, not the ten years of college study, not the values of progressivism handed down by my family on this continent since 1683. Not the values of pilgrims settling the land, nor the spirit of Pioneers to pack up a wagon and go West, not even the progressivism of the Prairie community that set rail tariffs allowing capital to flow back to the West creating the “Breadbasket of the World.”
It wasn’t my great grandfather’s newspaper that supported a fellow Illinois lawyer for congress and then for the presidency. It wasn’t the belief in the Union that sent 6 members of my family to fight during the War of Southern Rebellion. And it certainly wasn’t being raised by a heroic member of the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise at Midway.
NO, no, no. None of that made the slightest impression upon me during those empty years before1980 when CNN started. I believe that Right-wingers adopted the concept of their opposition as only getting news from one source, I mean isn’t that what they do every day?
