I mean, I caught that part of this thoughtful piece. Oh, and it's "peels", not "peals". “By intentionally being a meanie, she got the attention she needed and started her entries on her journey to self actualization.”

Oh, and it’s “peels”, not “peals”.

I have no doubt that you hit the mark with Colbert and O’Reilly but you have completely missed the entire dynamic that happens with blogs like VA. You don't "get" it. This has nothing to do with "mean". Our entire media of the current day is about manipulating people with drama, whether entertainment or news. Get people to react instead of think. A blog like VA is refreshing in that it has no pretense. It is exactly what she thinks about anything at any time. No political correctness, no fear of pissing people off with her actual views or actions, no need to impress anyone with meanness or kindness. Personal observations and epiphanies. It is like reading someone's diary. It peals away all the culture, social norms, and courtesy and just shows a real person. After being fed so much garbage from the media trying to tell me how to think and feel, I personally am thrilled to get a dose of real, faulty person with feelings that I sometimes have too, like indignation, and regret even if I don't agree with much of the attitudes and positions. It is not surprising that she mostly vents about things that irritate her, most of my friends start off with stuff like that too. It is like listening to a close friend that you may not have anything in common with vent about their day. It is a dose of intimacy. What reactionary garbage.

Finely a post from a blog that tries to see everything in a bigger perspective. This is very nicely thought out post! Finely a post from a blog that tries to see everything in a bigger perspective.
