CNN is hurting America

CNN is apparently trying to help Average Joe understand the issues a little better with the following link on their homepage: “Quiz: Where do you fit?” (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/special/issues/caucus/quiz.html). It is a beautiful example of tripe in action. For instance: “Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war in Iraq?” Or, my favorite, “Do you think the U.S. will or will not win the war in Iraq?” Of course, I refused to answer a few of these, because they are laughably blunt and would obviously produce skewed results. Not so! When I clicked on the “Submit” button, CNN returned me to the page and insisted that I answer all questions before it could calculate my answer.

 

Here’s to partisanship! Huzzah!

 

It’s a good thing Jefferson is dead, because he would definitely kill himself if he weren’t. Or better yet, he’d be a terrorist, blowing stuff up—starting with his own memorial.
