Anybody else tired of "talking points"?

Question

They don't really qualify as news. In fact, there is a very specific type of logical fallacy that covers most talking points:

Straw-man Arguments.

Answer 1

I'm not tired of talking points.. I am tired of how talking points never go any further than being just a quick point. I'm also sick of everyone polarizing based on the talking points without really investigating what the deeper issues are, who is posing the questions, etc.



Talking points aren't so bad.. It's just all that's left, and that is bad.

Answer 2

agreed, 100%. The good news is, some relish getting to the core of the issue and blasting the weak bumper-sticker slogans presented by those too lazy and uneducated to give intelligent input.

Answer 3

I like talking points. Its usually a well thought out logical sequence of

premises and conclusions.



Lumber: that's what the rest of the show is for.

Answer 4

I am as tired of "Talking Points" as I am with "Worst Person in the World"!

Answer 5

yes..... and the problem is that right wingers have taken over y/a......

Answer 6

Yes, worn out on talking points.

You're either a conservative racist or kool aid drinking zombie ...
