re: Op Ed: Reveille Disregards Conservative Students, Opinions

The Reveille occasionally publishes things like this to act like it represents both sides

I challenge you to find the last conservative or even moderate opinion the Reveille has published. And I'm not talking about the ridiculous "head to head" articles they do where they pit two writers against each other although they don't actually disagree.

Yes, lets shut down someone's outlet for free speech because it differs from yours.
Maybe chicken should close the poli board because it's a right wing circle jerk where even moderate opinions are run out or banned outright.
Now you're thinking like Trump and Hitler and Mussolini and Kim Jong
Went from not giving a shite to having an opinion kind of quickly there...
shitty opinion*
Is this your way of melting?

Dude, I got better things to do than read a newspaper written by 18 year olds.
Like troll the shite outta people like you.

I highly doubt that you have anything to do - hence the admitted weak trolling - and that's your problem.

Lacour has turned into a shitty contrarian troll since he came back. He wasn't always this bad so this is a new shtick he's trying and it's lame as hell.

Yet you are responding to me.

Pot-kettle.
You just proved his point.

A few poli board posters would be on board with this.

I find it ironic that he is accusing the paper of not allowing for diversity of thought, yet consistently attacks them because of specific articles that do not match his political opinions.
He cites two pieces to show how the paper is left leaning, while going on about lack of empirical evidence for an opinion held about voters in the recent election. I hate to break it to you, but his sample size makes his basis feel a bit annecdotal.
The problem with the way we get the news these days is that we tend to only seek out narratives that meet our particular confirmation bias. Furthermore, the news media consistently blends opinion with fact. It puts a slant on an article, and makes it difficult for casual consumers to detect. Therefore we tend to only read sources we trust, but may only trust them because they consistently match our view.
My recommendation is to read broadly from multiple angles to get a feel for how everyone views a particular issue, and form your own opinion. We all accuse the other side of not listening, when in reality we may not be doing such a good job either.
