In August, the Annenberg Public Policy Center released poll results focusing on Americans who had watched the Bush-bashing Michael Moore film "Fahrenheit 911" and those who regularly listen to the liberal-bashing Rush Limbaugh radio program. Almost nobody (like one-quarter of 1 percent) was in both groups.

A society of Limbaugh dittoheads and Moore disciples would be a modern-day Tower of Babel, where nobody spoke the same language or agreed about basic facts.
edit ...
Four years ago, 18 percent of Republicans and 18 percent of Democrats regularly watched Fox News. In 2004, the numbers are 35 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of Democrats. Democrats now outnumber Republicans in CNN's audience.

If you subscribe (for free) to the daily e-mail put out by the anti-war, anti-Bush group "Truthout," you will receive dozens of links every day to articles from a wide variety of conventional publications. But 100 percent of the Truthout links are to stories that are bad for Bush.

Who are the 21% of Democrats watching Faux news? At least this article talks about Limbo ditto heads when it also speaks about MM.

1. It's a flawed "Metafer"

The Tower of Babel is a story of arrogance, in people building themselves up to be closer to God, to become more like God. When God saw what was happening, the tower was knocked down, and THEN the languages of the people were confounded.

Good Lord, I just realized we're seeing Twin Towers. Talk about your deeply divided communities!!

Perhaps the author should have penned this story "the tower of Babble," "Babble-Bots," or whatever.

Interesting concept, though - they're basically saying we aren't talking to one another.
