You know those tweets where you read them and think about whether or not it would hurt too much to poke your eyes out so you never have to read something like that again?
Too dramatic?
Eh, when you read as many tweets as we do it makes sense … for example, LOOK at this sanctimonious BS from Matthew Dowd.
I am going to say this again as I have said for the last few years: the media does an incredible disservice when they seek balance, instead of the truth. Having guests on to get balance, but who take us further from the truth, hurts our world.

So basically, Matthew is advocating only talking to one side of an issue, or at least that’s how we read it. We’d ask him but he has this editor blocked.
it is worth sending this out again, to meditate this terrifying argument. The left believes itself to be the only arbiter of the "truth." Dowd advocates shutting down speech of anyone who doesn't agree with that "truth." I can think of countries where that happens–dictatorships https://t.co/PjrimuckSk

Yup. Authoritarians only want people to see, hear, and read certain things.
So kim so what do you think the goal of journalism if it isn’t the truth? Do you think we should have people on panels that argue the earth is flat?
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 4, 2018
This effing guy.
Actually, the goal of journalism is presenting facts–and presenting them on both sides of any given issue. Americans then get to work out themselves, on the basis of those facts, the truth. We don't need press to divine it for us. Just try who/what/where/when/why/how https://t.co/I6LAXl21YF

Matthew got a little defensive:
Also, I am a conservative. So calling me a leftist is another lie. I am fine having conservatives, progressives, moderatates, diverse view points. But people have to agree to some common set of facts. Making up stuff isn’t a viewpoint.
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 4, 2018
She didn’t call him a Leftist.
so, if you read again, I didn't call you a leftist. You can self define as you wish. But curious, explain how it is a "fact" that Justice Thomas is a "sexual predator"–as you stated.. as fact. That counts as "making up stuff." You prove my point about press defining "truth." https://t.co/uUopiweKtg

Yeah, Matthew, explain that.
Narrator: He didn’t.

Way more conservative than our president and his enablers.

Someone seems fussy.
Lol if you are a conservative I'm Marilyn Monroe

Many people called him out claiming he is no conservative, and he just kept repeating this:
Vincit omnia amor
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 5, 2018
It’s Latin for, ‘Love conquers all.’
So deep.
And see, he does only like to listen to one side, the one that agrees with him.
