You have forced me to admit you may be correct. Even still, you won’t find very many defending the Gov. position around here. On certain radio stations, anyone who supports shutting this place down will be talked about online. Talked about as if they were in league with Satan.
What you say is true. I don’t like defending the government or defending Obama or the Dems in general, but a lie is a lie and I don’t want fake claims an allegations detracting from the real issues.
News has become partisan. People can now go and choose their own news sources and opinion sources. This results in people gravitating towards sources that provide ‘conformation bias’. Done on both the left and the right.
IF you hate the government you want to read about government abuse and oppression. If you hate the other party you want to read about the absurd regarding the other parties. Many don’t even bother to check facts any more and just believe because it fits their world view.
Me? I like the truth, even if it disproves some accusation from a group of another conservatives.
What we get here on FR is not news. It’s pointers to news and opinions — which is difficult to discern between the two these days.
