quote:I've found OSC's positive recommendations can be very good but, by and large, his negative ones are largely just a vehicle for him to go into an anti-elitist/liberal/academic/artsy rant. I sort of wish there was some indicator of when he's actually reviewing something as opposed to going off on something that offends him in the guise of a review.
Heh, I've found likewise. The media I've liked that he's liked, I've often found I like for some of the same reasons he did. But when he starts going on about media he doesn't like...man, at a guess I'd say he's got at least a 50/50 chance of being off-putting by his politicking.

It just makes me think that, dude, I know you don't like liberals, that's all well and good, but what do liberals have to do with... well... Like him talking about Ipods. Now why does he have to turn that into a bash on President Obama? I was not a fan of President Bush, but if I was reviewing, say, anything, I would not suddenly turn it into a rant about that because it doesn't have to do with whatever I'm reviewing. Unless it's a book about President Bush or a movie about him, or a book about President Obama. But perhaps, again, I'm not his audience. But I'm still bugged by the pot shot at single mothers. That seems kind of harsh.
