re: #378 garhighway

I have been continuing the struggle you started at the San Diego UT site. I’m about done, though.

The SDUT/Signonsandieogo site really only wants to generate hits, not resolve issues. Its one of those things I see in most of these fading newspaper sites - the writers and editors of articles seem oblivious to the comments they generate. As such, the writers and editors just throw out articles in hopes of getting more web hits; I really wish they’d both to follow up with more articles specifically addressing items brought up in comments.

My proposal is that if writers/editors would do so then they would find a benefit not only to themselves but others too.

The tirade of ideological talking points repeated ad nauseam only finds a home where “pushing the peanut” is the name of the game by the writers/editors.

The AGW-is-a-hoax crowd really are cut from the same cloth as Evolution-is-a-lie crowd. Eventually evidence and reasoning isn’t even recognized as the defense of the worldview becomes paramount in the psyche of the naysayers.
