Like many of you, I keep a couple of right-wing sites in my favorites and like to check out what they are up to on occasion. Not too often -- I just can't stand it. But occasionally.
I happened upon this post on Media Research Center, which tries to be some sort of answer to Media Matters for America but not surprisingly doesn't exactly measure up.
What surprised me most about the article wasn't the mindless opposition to science -- we're getting used to that. What surprised me was that they would bother to publish an article written at the level of a not-so-bright fifth grader. I can tell you that I write a personal blog that gets maybe 30 page views on a busy day, and if I were ever to publish something this pathetic, I would be mortified. But I won't so it's OK.
The gist of the post, included in the title, is that Time Magazine published an article with contradictory solutions to global warming. Their examples? Move to the city, live in a smaller home, telecommute, hang a clothesline. And the article's point? If you move to the city and live in some tiny home, why telecommute, and where are you going to hang that clothesline? And that's it. That's their point. It's contradictory!
Well, here's an idea. Maybe some people could live in smaller homes closer to work, and others could telecommute and hang a clothesline.
Oh my god, I just blew away your post and made you look like a complete moron with one simple, really obvious idea!
And this post is featured prominently on the main page of Media Research Center, third article from the top as I write. Really, if that's the best you can do, you should rethink your life and try to find something useful to do. No kidding.
