Alt-left liberal media types....

interviewing styles. Sure, all reporters are under time constraints, so they often tend to interrupt to keep things going. But I've noticed that lefties, which means the overwhelming majority of print and broadcast media types, as determined by surveys on their voting/political affiliations, especially when interviewing someone from the opposite ends of the political spectrum, really overuse this controlling technique. In the past, interviwees merely acquiesed. But perhaps with trumpian shifts in the body politic, things are changing. Today on taxpayer funded so -called public broadcasting, a reporter interrupted a lady attorney, who is defending a man against the ueber PC bully climate at, I think, Amazon or Google. She put the news guy in his box by simply saying, "can I continue?", each time this guy tried the tactic. Perhaps more folks should do this. I would also comment openly and publicly on each reporter's use of such styles. Aa.

Thanks, CC. But forgive me for not being able to follow what you write. Aa.
Thanks, Methinks, GT. Like it or not, we humans do tend to classify. The periodic table of elements, flora and fauna, the various quarks, categories of mental illness, the first folks to use the term alt-right, and so on. Yes, you could have written the blog as described, but you'd be in error, as any fair person watching the endless bashing of the Right by a clearly left biased media will acknowledge. But it ain't a fair world, often. No? Some prefer it so. So sorry for your boredom. You can work on that. Aa.
Any style of the journalist, is it is a difficult way. And they are constantly limited.
Classification, as in periodic tables, is nothing like that made up thing you are doing. There is no alt left/ alt right. Just some stupid buzzwords that you all are so easily manipulated into using in order to, what compare and contrast, so that you can convince yourselves that you don't have massive inferiority complexes?

Don't really think it's going to work for you, but knock yourself out.

And I do believe you are correct. My boredom can easily be remedied by ignoring blogs like this. Thanks for the reminder!peace
Thanks, GT. While you are at it, a little work on the anger wouldn't hurt. Aa.
