But news it is not, and that is how it is headlined above the article, "news you won't find.... etc." It's Personal commentary.

Hubris is the only word for it. It's packed with assumption and simple fallacies that are not supported.

I do think war is very possible and probably likely but his points are extrapolated from highly controversial positions and subjective innuendo. It's over enunciated in a tabloid fashion to create emotion and angst for the sake of emotion and angst.

If he toned down the exhausting hubris to a level where facts could be measured for what they really are instead of using the tactics of Glenn Beck or Limbaugh we might be able to see something that could be useful... but then it wouldn't be quite as entertaining, would it?

To me he is wasting facts that could be important by presenting them in a way that can be cajoled by the RW much too easily, or even used by the RW to make their point for them. He's not helping at all.

Filing this article under: angry, controlling, subjective, hubris, entertainment commentary
