Hey, I started that thread ...
I despise nearly everything Bolt writes but he's free to write whatever he likes, as long as it's within the law.
I don't take much notice of individual journalists (other than Bolt and maybe Akerman) ... I read/see/hear media and then make up my own mind so it doesn't matter who writes or publishes media content as far as I'm concerned.

True, but knowing who the writer is first can influence your response to it due to emotional prejudices - no matter how hard you try to tell yourself you are uninfluenced.redandblack wrote:It's not that hard to note who wrote something.
Knowing who wrote something and forming your own opinions aren't mutually exclusive.
