I in no way dismissed her rape.

Oh you're right! Omega Red has adamantium (I think) but as a pinko commie, was obviously not a Weapon.

Where do the Belushi's stand?

I will substitute 'shallow' for 'vapid'.

Well, non-Arab Americans. There is not actual dichotomy between Arabs and Americans, though your statement does point in the direction of the problem, I think.

I think that's true, but largely because our society has done such a horrible job in teaching critical thinking and journalistic literacy. I'm not sure it's necessarily human nature, or whatnot.

Yeah to me the major problem isn't bias, because a) you can gather stories from multiple online sources to correct for that, and b) Allegedly 'unbiased' news sources don't and never have existed (see CNNs tireless cheerleading in the leadup to the Iraq War).

Exactly. This is someone who loves fame for its own sake and has absolutely nothing of real interest to say about it.
