I changed the sentences in the first example. You stripped the meaning of the sentence down to the bare syntax, which is not how sentences work. When you emphasize 'I' in 'I went' the topic of the sentence is not whether or not you went, or where you were going, but rather that you were the only one that went. This is clearly a different concept than one certainly going, but not that they are the only one going.

Emphasis is not part of the sentences though. You just said "I went" twice, so the meaning stayed "I went" twice. Whatever you may imply has nothing to do with the sentence.

Emphasis *is* part of sentence structure, actually. It's one of the most basic concepts in all of linguistics.

i don't see what the literal meaning of a sentence changing has to do with theyoungturks. I thought fusion was initially saying that their tone changed the emotional feeling of what they talk about, making it smug and annoying, but now you're talking about something else entirely...

I just don't see how someone being smug or whatever is important in a media outlet. If they do their job right and give me fair and unbiased news, being a naked, ugly, arrogant, old douchebag is irrelevant.

We got off on a tangent. And that is exactly what my original point was. I wasn't even arguing that they were bad newscasters, just that they were irritating.

It would definitely distract me from what they're saying, but that's just me

Why do you think the electoral college was created? Because people are stupid.
