Let me take that back. People do care what you have to say, they just don't want to hear it.

Agreed - especially the Times.

But Andy has a point - I don't put much stock in any story whose sole source is WND (or NewsMax). I've been burned way too often posting their stuff. I wait until it's either corroborated by someone else or if it exists somewhere else and they are simply publishing it.

There you go attacking leftist news sources thinking that's where I drink all my kool-aid. Sorry Vrai, wrong again. I get all my news here at the RU.

You dismiss the source, with no word on the subject.

Do you have anything useful to say on the subject, or a suggestion that the subject is actually invalid? Or, do you simply dismiss the information because you dismiss the source?

It doesn't have to be a mainstream website, but WND is a website I DON'T go to and trust for news. It's like going to Joe Blow's blog and hearing about how Obama was behind 9-11.

But, then again, I'm sure some of you would believe it if some nobody posted it on the internet.

The WND was not the source for the documentary. Basically, they (at WND) were endorsing it and recommending it. The filmmaker has his own blogsite - the links to which are posted.

But feel free to discount it anyway without reading about it or the author before you comment on it!

Here come the righties.

Yes, I'm going to discount it. WND is rubbish. As far as the DVD, I have no interest. You guys would suck it right in simply because it fits into this belief you righties have that the whole world is out to brainwash Americans into being liberals and that this is more "proof."

Pfft.

Believe it or not, the world is not out to brainwash Americans into being leftists and not everything about everything is all about political affiliation.

So what you're saying is that there is no such documentary as "Indoctrinate U" simply because WND did a review on it?

You have issues. And it would behoove you to actually read something instead of offering up your ignorant opinion on topics you know nothing about and are unwilling to learn.

That said - colleges & universities have long been known for their leftist agendas & ideas. No big surprise there!

But wait. Are you saying they aren't? Are you saying they are filled with right wingers who try to spew their conservative values into every class or lecture? Are they trying to influence and brainwash the minds of our impressionable young people? Say it isn't so!

No - he's saying that since WND reviewed the film and recommended it, there is no such thing and it's a figment of their imagination because they are rubbish.
