Quote by Arianna Huffington

Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.

Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom,

Summary

This quote suggests that mainstream media often conform to established beliefs and perspectives, focusing primarily on the political dichotomy between the right and left ideologies. They tend to echo and support popular opinions without critically examining them. By doing so, they overlook alternative viewpoints or neglect complex issues that might challenge the prevailing consensus. This highlights a potential limitation in their ability to provide diverse and impartial coverage, fostering a lack of nuance and contributing to the polarization of public discourse.

Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me; the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours; therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious schem

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government. Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others -- through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approximately half the eligible voters vote this means that approximately 75% of the people are ruled by 25% of the people.
