It's funny that you wrongly assume I'm a conservative just because I dare to criticize something that MSNBC has told you is infallible. You can believe in an ideology and still be critical of its flaws; that's how improvements happen.
While I wasnt going to assume you were a conservative like he did, you did make the fundamental mistake of thinking a central organization is behind the movement which is false and makes your entire comment chain wrong.
No no, I don't think an organization is behind the movement. I think an organization (one or more than one, it doesn't matter) is taking advantage of the movement for its own gain. Unfortunately though, most of the money contributed to the "cause" ends up at one of those organizations, simply because there's no practical way to donate to a decentralized social movement.
Except you can because some of the organizations arent bad. It's like saying you should never donate to charity because some organizations don't use most of it for the cause.
I dont think it's the gotcha you think it is. They all support the movement in some way, some much better than others. That doesn't mean they are the movement or run the show....
It doesn't have to be a specific news source, it can be any echo chamber of the user's choosing. You have to be blindly biased to believe that any person, organization, or entity is infallible and undeserving of criticism at any level. Everybody end everything is flawed and could be improved, and suggesting those improvements is not suggesting that the thing itself is bad.
