Just to be clear, I don’t turn on CNN or go to the Washington Post (except to research something like this) because I stopped watching television, reading papers or magazines (like Newsweak) around 15-20 years ago.
Like a lot of people, I can stay informed without being spoon fed what someone wants me to know. I can look at disparate sources of information and use my own intellect to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
I don’t think it is too far off base to point out that there is a problem with the institutions that should ostensibly disseminate news, but instead practice advocacy, and the effect that has on something like this.
And I don’t blindly accept what I see here on FR, though I do use FR as a jumping off point for research on contemporary news. Sounds like you do too, and a lot of others here.

Roger that!
