“It can be very entertaining to have two very spirited people discussing heath care in this country, but I for one would be better benefited by someone coming on and telling me exactly what the state of health care is before we talk about what ought to be done and telling me what my real options are,” Westin said.

The problem with this approach is:
1. Westin gets to pick the "someone" who comes on and tells me "exactly what the state of health care is".
2. Westin gets to edit the comments of the "someone" before broadcast.
3. Nobody gets to refute the "facts" presented by the "someone".

Is Westin so stupid that he believes this is a good approach? Or does he think we are so stupid we will fall for it? I think I know the answer.

Not that it really matters, but I've canceled the local (Memphis) paper & USA Today during this election. I have not watched CBS, CNN, ABC, CBS since 2000. I'm raising my kids (and parents) not to trust the MSM. This has been pretty easy given all the lousy biased reporting examples provided this year.

Smart person...you are! We've made much progress in this undertaking but much more needs to be done. I think we can safely say that the MSM is making it easier for us to get our message across as they continually reveal their personal bias. They are contributing to their demise.
