I was scanning the Recent Diaries list, and it suddenly occurred to me that we seem to have stumbled into a Bizarro Kos-Land. Fully 8 of the 50 entries, 16 percent of the list referenced, in their title one or more Wingnut kook, and seemed only to have been written to let us know what was going on "over there...."
At this writing, the following Diaries inhabit the Recent Diaries list. Each is replete with links, guaranteed to drive up traffic for the likes of Drudge, Chuck Norris and their ilk:
Drudge: FOX rating > All others = Repugs won..or something
Chuck Norris Runs First Ad For President Of Texas
Freepnuts today - Grandiose much?
Listen Up, Wingnut Brides of Chucky (promoting Chuck Norris)
The Right-Wing Echo Chamber & Nancy Pelosi's Plane (promting Drudge and Fox News, among others)
Even WorldNutDaily once admitted birther claims are baloney
On Michelle Malkin's Blog, Threats to Obama's Life
Hey why didn't anyone tell me there was a 2 minute hate propoganda program for Liberals? (promoting American Thinker)
I'm not sure why this is. Are we that bored with having a progressive president and a Congress that (mostly) is supporting his agenda?
Frankly I don't buy into the idea of watching what the extremist talkers on the other side are saying; We know they're lying. I think all it does is prematurely age you. I quit all news type shows after the 2004 elections. Any source that says they're unbiased is lying. So now I get my news from sources that are at least biased my way. I've been much happier since then.
At any rate, to each their own. If you get cheap thrills by watching, by all means don't let me stop you. But it does dismay me to see so many people coming back before they stopped panting with excitement.
Oh well. This isn't much of a diary. But then, neither are 8 others on the list right now.
