Note to self : don't take anyone who makes throwaway comments about the "liberal media" seriously.
It didn't add to his argument at all, and subtracted by implying that he's doing this more as an "f you" to liberals than out of any rational thought process.
EDIT: /me watches the downvotes prove his point about how some people's thought process can be entirely hijacked. Yes guys, the apparent devastation of the Gulf is entirely a product of liberal propaganda -- things are actually perfectly fine.
You're probably unfamiliar with Scott Adams. From reading his comic and his blog, I think he's actually liberal. His comment was probably tongue-in-cheek. It's also worth remembering that he loves pushing people's buttons. Remember that this guy makes jokes for a living.
I dunno, I just know that the liberal media is really screwing up the "drill baby drill" rhetoric with their incessant propaganda about a minor accident.
They're talking like there's hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil in the Gulf or something.
>It's a catastrophe, no doubt, but even catastrophes have levels. I'm betting the financial damage will be very, very, very bad and not very, very, very, very bad.
Where do you get "minor accident" from "very, very, very bad"? He is just saying that the liberal media is, as it usually does (ratings anyone?) exaggerating the situation. It doesn't help either that mass media types covering this kind of problem are usually the sorts that have orgasms from hugging trees.
