I make up my mind from thinking on my own, not wondering what most people think. And I hate when they interview "the man on the street", too. Because what the hell do I care what some dope on the street has to say?<BR/><BR/>I suppose the bigger issue is that we would like to trust our media to be giving us at least somewhat unbiased information. I am just cynical enough to think that almost never happens. So I try to vary my news sources. I figure I might as well hear about things from both sides.anglophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074462196299441293noreply@blogger.com
