    The National Review is the political equivalent of The National Enquirer

    I thought it was obvious

    The point was dissent on the value and integrity of the source material.

    Main Entry: [1]dis·sent
    Pronunciation: di-'sent
    Function: intransitive verb
    Etymology: Middle English, from Latin dissentire, from dis- + sentire to feel —more at SENSE
    Date: 15th century
    1 : to withhold assent
    2 : to differ in opinion

    He's quoting from The Washington Post. Which one of the quotes is incorrect?

    It's not a requirement to follow rightwing or leftwing propganda , sorry.

    Dissent is part of life. I find it's better to learn to deal with that fact.

    If you like National Review or even National Enquirer, fine by me.

    I don't however.

    Why am I even having to explaining this anyway

    Or maybe dissent of rightwing concepts is what is not allowed
    If you disagree with the auhtor's conclusions, fine, let's hear it. But your disagreement with his views does not invalidate the facts.

    I don't feel the need to defend every single opinion I have or express .

    Particularly to a perfect stranger on the net.

    It's my opinion. Take it or leave it
