Opus 2025-265: Editors Needed

I’m reading an old history book written around 1905.  Some of it is dated, some insightful, some very interesting.  It’s actually a high school textbook.  You can tell this by the fact that at the end of each chapter it has a summary and what we would call today, discussion questions.  I’m thinking that our modern media needs to have this addition to what they do.

It would have to be staffed by people who came from the right wing lunatic fringe, you know, people who can think and have integrity.

In reality, it would not be hard to write this follow up section of the news.  All you would need to do was read the paragraphs before it and expressed the opposite opinion.  If they quoted a conservative as saying something evil, then you could just assume that this was what was being said behind closed doors on the left.  The best example of this was Hillary Clinton’s vast right wing conspiracy, which did not exist.  However, there was a vast left wing conspiracy.

It might be fun to write such a thing if it weren’t for the possible death threats.  It would be a lot like giving an intellectual explanation to that old magazine called Mad.
