Answer 5

political correctness is out of control these days. Basically what happens is anyone now can be attacked on a witch hunt created by the face of the so called caring liberal media. In fact this is a scam. The only reason people are attacked in the news for saying something insensitive is b/c this creates publicity which is what TV stations need to get viewers and make money. Sadly this is one of the only ways in which liberal media can compete with Fox. These political correct rants are furthermore obviously insincere because those same people don't go after real problems of racism, sexism, etc. Does anybody realise that segregation is still a very real problem of today and that just because it isn't a law doesn't make it not a problem. In fact it is still the single biggest contributor to racism and hatred. Does anybody realise that while we supposedly have to be politically correct about Islam we treat out animals better than women are treated in Muslim countries. and the list could go on and on for an entire book of countless examples of how "pc" is actually used counter productively to its supposed intentions.
