It's been a while since I've written. This fall, I started my Ph.D. program, and so I've been busy. It's too bad that what moves me to blog is Dennis Miller's insensitive, uneducated, and unruly "free speech."
Fox news gets such a bad rap, and it really deserves it. I understand commentary and editorials, but the point is to have someone intelligent who can speak up with views from all sides for the sake of "readers" who might not get the whole story. THe purpose of editorial writing is not to encourage mindless relativism or political correctness. Good editorial writing digs deep with reason, ethics, and EVIDENCE to better inform people and make them THINK before they make up their minds.
But, Fox allows Miller to sound off and blast people, bash a religion, make unintelligible analogies, and present a picture of racist "rhetoric" in the name of "free speech."
Dennis Miller, you have free speech, as do all people who live in the US (including Muslim imams). We also have freedom of religion. Please do not speak for me. You are wrong to act in such a way, and I denounce your words.
