My opinions are always sought out at the watercooler because they are more insightful. When there is national security/foreign relations matters in the news, I turn on BBC America. They tell the truth.

Now he's trying the same faux rage with McCain and it's just more babble. In fact, I started watching Fox News BECAUSE of Olberman. But Sean Hannity is just as bad. He simply makes up stuff from thin air!

It's reached the point where I can't learn anything useful for forming my own opinion, because whatever cable channel I watch is only going to tell me the news that supports their perspective. This can only harden and perpetuate the current rabid partisanship and demonization Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.com
