Re: Political Discussions
Worth pointing out that we as consumers also share some of the blame for the media. Those second tier news sites, that aren't big enough to be getting direction from the PAC's/government, are mostly doing the same thing that Fox and CNN are, because it's what we click on. The fair news sites that try to present unbiased news are fading into oblivion, because they aren't making money. We've kind of brought this upon ourselves to a degree.

The fact is, the media covers what they want and doesn't cover what they don't want, and slants what they cover to portray what they're covering any way they want.The media covers what they are told to cover, and they are told how to cover it. Both sides.
Rats! I thought I could sneak this one in while Frank was out of town. Did not count on such a quick recovery by him.
The PBS News Hour has a segment every Friday, Brooks & Capeheart, to discuss the weeks political headlines. Brooks is in the conservative corner but not so deep that PBS won't let him in the door - so he's in the center-left of the Right side. Anyway, as they discussed the CR, Capeheart was saying the Left was correct to chastize Shumer and those that voted with the enemy to pass the CR, and they need to resist Trump at every opportunity. Brooks made a very interesting point, that the Right was hoping they'd shoot it down so that Trump's henchmen could do some of their dastardly deeds during the shutdown that they couldn't do in normal times when the gov't is up and running; like a shutdown would give them the chance to do what the Left didn't want them to do because of an 'emergency'.
And the dance continues...
