magley64 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I agree with about half of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 First of all Regina Brett is only 53 (clicky) and secondly she is one of the most ridiculous writers that has ever been employed by a newspaper. Regina Brett and Connie Schultz (both writers for PD) are both so closed minded and one sided with everything they write about that i cant even read what they write anymore.

If you think their writings are one sided, then aren't you doing the same thing by being one sided and not reading it? If you look at both sides, then you make a decision based on all the information....not just the info you read....And this was taken from the link you sent:"Beware the Internet. It can age you. I once wrote the 45 Lessons Life Taught Me, then added five more lessons when I turned 50 in 2006. Next thing I know, the lessons ended up e-mailed everywhere. Only someone changed my age. It now reads: "Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old."" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either of them presented the facts fairly then i would have no problem but like most media they have to make the facts say what they want them to. After reading their columns for the past year i just can't take anymore. Then again Connie Schultz is married to Sherrod Brown so i suppose i shouldn't expect much unbiased information from her. That is not knock on dems or libs at all just simple fact. I no longer read their columns for the same reason I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh or watch Bill O'Reilly, I can think for myself when presented with facts I dont need someone else to tell me what i should think.

My only thing is you seem like you're on the RIGHT path and I dont want to lose you to the dark side <insert evil laugh here> I hope you keep an open mind on everything, and check both sides of the story. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
