Media Bias

[Cow Poke]

Or an equal opportunity disdainer!

I believe you just insulted the National Enquirer twice. They publish top notch fiction. Not like those other doggerel rags that aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Interesting. Me 'n Ghandi:

Some strange questions though.

I bet you find this surprising. Here is mine:

well according to that chart in my last post I am as close to a centrist as we have here on tweb other than Cow Poke who made his own chart. My view on abortion is that it is murder.

A centrist doesn't wobble on every issue, it means that they are left on some issues and right on others so that averaging everything out they end up in the middle. I think that I am more to the right of center than the chart shows though. Maybe I misunderstood one of the questions, they were worded oddly.

Did NOT!

Did NOT!

so you actually got dead center? cool.

I bet our charts will give Starlight, Tassy and JimL conniptions. They think we are "alt-right"

Ummmm... should I call my attorney?

That IS a significant surprise to me.

(I'm trying to think if I've ever actually heard the termination of an ectopic pregnancy being referred to as an "abortion")

It's come up in debates I've had about it before.

Interesting. I would have thought that was more clearly a medical procedure that truly was something that could realistically put the life of the mother in danger.

That I am where you think you should have been?

I truly think I should be about the same place on the purple side. I am slightly more conservative than the quiz shows.

Holey moley! A veritable pinko right here in our midst!

Nah, I had you pegged as more of a centrist. You aren't doctrinaire enough to be a true blue conservative.

Like I said to EvoUK. it is an average of views. On some I am very very right wing, on others I am what you might think of as left wing.

I have come around to thinking that universal healthcare might be a good thing IF the government does it correctly (which I highly doubt). I think some drugs should be legalized. But I think the laws for using those drugs in public (like smoking and driving) should be very strict. I don't want potheads driving around on the street). I am for some regulation of corporations to keep them in check and make sure they are good citizens. I believe some taxes are necessary for a society to function.

If I had been asked to predict, I would have guessed five lines to the right of center and two lines above. Goes to show how wrong perceptions can be...
