Discredited Right-Wing Author Jonah Goldberg Given Three Free Hours on C-Span's In Depth Today

[YankeeLeft7x]

Jonah Goldberg effectively replaced liberal columnist Robert Scheer at the Los Angeles Times during the George W. Bush era. Goldberg has been largely discredited by Historians over his bogus "Liberal Fascism" thesis. You know, the same way historians have discredited much of whatever Glen Beck says about U.S. History. Well, C-Span has decided to give this windbag three free hours of air time. His mother Lucianne Goldberg is an agent provacateur whom played a role in the Monica-Bill-Linda Tripp saga, during the Clinton years.

I guess C-Span also enjoys playing this false equivalent game of left versus right. Goldberg has no credibility and comes up with theses which lack foundation or credible evidence.

1. DUers, so what da ya think about this one on C-Span?

You know--this crackpot named Jonah Goldberg? And C-Span for giving him three free hours?

I'd be interested to hear some feedback on this one!

2. They get away with it because of nuances

and America's disinterest in it.

Americans don't do nuance, something this President and the Democrats really need to learn. It's all bumpersticker all the time. Master that {and with the majority of Hollywood's most creative writers on our side, it shouldn't be a problem} and we'll finally be a political party to reckon with.

The Republican'ts toss out bumpersticker shit all the time, leaving the Democrats to explain, and on the defensive. Not a winning strategy as we've just seen.

7. BookTV's schedule is between 2/3 and 3/4 right wing crap every week.

There are some great segments on good books by great authors but you have to be willing to wade through the sewer to find them.

9. Doughy Pantsload is another right-wing 'think-tanker' that invents his own histories.

None of those hacks can make it in actual academia, so the right wing invented all those 'foundations' and 'think-tanks' specifically to give them a platform to spout their ludicrous nonsense.

That way they can fool the mostly ignorant public into believing they are equivalent to actual places where facts are important and academic research is the rule, instead of manufacturing their own set of realities.

That C-Span gives any credence to the likes of Goldberg is depressing.
