A written conversation/discussion is always better than a spoken one.
Why?
Because, the common foibles of human memory don't come into "play" and by that
I mean "selective memory" or understanding. One can be "quoted" accurately and then taken out of context. Which is done by sum/some a lot here.
Gotta run to the store "right" quick...I'm outta corn squeezins and it is Saturday Night.
Back within the hour.
You're missing the point. When you want the truth. Isn't it better to see and hear the person say? You'd rather have someone else listen to them, and them write down what they said. Lots of room for error that way. Especially, if it's done by bias reporters.
I also have the option to see what everybody wrote, and how truthful they are. Then you get to know who's being honest. How do you know who's being honest when you just read?
I'll ignore most of the drivel in this thread of late, but I'm with Buzz on one point. Face to face discussion is FARRRRRR more enlightening and honest. The argument around memory doesn't hold, if the discussion is between relatively educated and literate people. Second, voice inflection and facial cues are critical to seeing the nuance in what another person is getting at. Also, one can, with any real life experience, pick out the liars and fakers more easily face to face.

I live in Texas....you live in America.
how do you ever expect yourself to move forward as a person, when(at least on these forums) you seem to want to hold onto and beat the same gripes to death and contribute no new thinking or nuance? Sorta makes a boy wonder, CUDA.

Because its primarily on this forum where members like to delude themselves into thinking that only fox news has bias. Thats not the case and you know it. Buzz just intentionally and continually ignores it
"In reality, there exists only fact and fiction.
Opinions result from a lack of the former and a reliance on the latter."
I watch ALL channels. Why are you just talking about MSNBC?
Speaking of which. A survey was done on all the channels, and the people who watched MSNBC were the most informed of the real facts. I'm sure you don't have to ask where Fox ended up. You'd be better off to watch the TV with it turned off.

They're most informed of Obama's message, that's a real fact. Is MSNBC now your favorite cable news outlet?
