  1. Seems obvious what's happening: MSM is saying, "See! We're fair; we slapped Piker's wrist." They like having that to push back against the well-founded criticism of their evident bias, though it doesn't fly gracefully, considering the penalties meted out to conservatives are more severe than those incurred by liberals for the same content. I saw Piker say these things and recognize its off-handed origin. He should have recognized it, too, and immediately recanted, like, "Whoa, where'd that come from?! Not appropriate..." Improvisation can be dangerous when you don't recognize the mechanism and instead imagine you're producing comic genius because you ARE a comic genius! The value of politeness is in producing an atmosphere of congeniality, a most productive environment for human interaction. The lack of politeness SIGNALS CONFLICT, and, in suck an environment, some sort of "fight" WILL ensue! Politeness is the sole social responsibility of EVERYONE. Without it, you don't have a "society"...
