Oh get off it Drudge

I have no problem following links on Drudge, a good deal of what he links to interests me. And I realize that many times the "headline" that he tags onto the link is meant to titillate and move traffic (yes I know... mostly move traffic to websites with a conservative bent.)

But this headline is ludicrous...

"OBAMA NEGOTIATES WITH TEHRAN BUT NOT REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS"

This is stupid. My personal opinion is that most any negotiation with Iran is more akin to a game of liars poker.

But no president is going to pass up the opportunity to at least get into the game.

I question much of President Obama's policy but I really don't think he is stupid enough to go into something like this with no idea of how Iran will try to game the process every chance it gets.

But Drudge... you're comparing apples to oranges... get real.

It makes an excellent headline.....and that is what media lives for...be they right left or inbetween.

Of course there is a better chance of actually achieving a negotiated compromise with Iran than the Republicans in Congress.

Drudge, ABC, the Flume are engines to sell advertising. Perhaps you are right about directing traffic.

But no where in the media or journalism at this point (or really ever....extra, extra, read all about it....) is it about having accurate headlines....or content for that matter. To even discuss it as such may just be naive.

But I generally understand where you are coming from.

You perhaps kinda feel like this guy.

I found that on drudge by the way. Plus we all know the president is negotiating primarily with companies on how to run the country for their benefit. He has the wealth and life long labor of 300M Americans to use as currency. The reign of govt for the people is over, it was over when the people gave up too many liberties to the vote and then have up the vote to their representatives, who gave up your stuff and time to the largest of companies. All you had to do to start the fire was allow them to debate away your liberties. The bad reporting of such is at this point, inconsequential, the people don't care, they are focused on how to game the system to get their side to win (see any, I mean most, of LJ's posts for fodder), it is not right or wrong, it is win or loose.

Why the f*** would Republicans want to compromise with a party that refers to them as:
Terrorists
Legislative Arsonists
Blackmailers
Suicide Bombers
Anarchists
The Enemy
Teabaggers
Extortionists...

I'm sure I missed a few... I don't think the Dems have found a way to use rapists yet but I'm sure they are working on it.

Remember after the Gabby Gifords shooting when Obama called for more civility? I do. I think the Dems have Iranians beat hands down when it comes to hateful rhetoric.

Sounds like something a conservative would do......nasty acts, name calling, it's about all the conservatives have left, you are a prime example of conservative failure.
