Nice little proof
We are soft totalitarians. We don't often imprison people for telling the truth, but we always fire them instantly for telling the truth, for stepping outside the rigid boundaries of our agreed-on lies. Nice to see a direct proof of this observation in the instant firing of Rick Sanchez for telling a whole bunch of truths at once.
He was the least obnoxious of CNN's anchors: he's a married heterosexual with some experience of real American life and some affection for America. These qualities often showed through. Now the Glorious Hundred Flowers Propaganda Factory #1 has been purified: all the main anchors are reliable screechy civilization-hating Leninist homosexuals. Perfect diversity achieved at last!
The ideal replacement would be Comrade Shep Smith of the Opposition Party Brand™ Propaganda Factory. Comrade Shep is a screechy civilization-hating Leninist homosexual, and he must be getting awfully tired of having his Leninist loyalty impugned by proletarians who stupidly believe the Opposition Party Brand™ Propaganda Factory actually represents heterodoxy. In fact Commissar R. Murdoch is just a more subtle (thus more dangerous) purveyor of the same agreed-on lies, using classic Marxist dialectic methods cleverly rebranded as "Fair And Balanced Debate™". ¶ 4:55 AM
