3. They do that crap all the time
like we can't understand what we're hearing for ourselves- like we need their interpretation.

5. They want to be sure you hear it "their" way.
You might think Rev. Wright isn't as bad as they want you to think.

8. That's what you get if you watch that channel
or most any other corporate media outlet (or PBS these days, for that matter).

For my money, I'll wait for youtube.

12. It's not exclusively righ or left brain but tendencies for a more dominant right or more dominant
left.

Everyone needs both hemispheres, so it is useful to characterize proportions of right:left, 50:50, 40:60, 33:67, 52:48 etc. etc. etc.

And then, of course, there is even variation within the individual over time and situations.

21. They HAVE to tell you what he says because they KNOW
you don't know how to think for yourself....

Don't listen to REv. Wright, let the MSM filter it for you
so you don't have to do any heavy lifting....

So... what do you want to wager how this will be spun
during the morning shows?

Scarborough? "Wright, hate, Obama bad, etc etc"

NBC/CBS/ABC: "More trouble for Obama..."

Faux: "Rabble rousing, hatred, divisiveness.."

Any other wagers?

("Wasn't it troubling that he equated Islam with
Christianity and Judaism?")

(BTW: Wright was brilliant, and I heartily support
his ministry...)

25. They have to translate it into "whitespeak". . .
After all, the people running the MSM ain't the brightest white boyz on earth. . .just among the greediest.

26. In the 21st century
there is absolutely NO valid reason for watching teevee. Everything you need is available through other avenues. (Note I avoided the use of "channels".)
