Not surprising. That is how these people think. "Your opinions are just that, opinions. My opinions are simply the way things are."

They also believe that pretty much everyone in the world agrees with them and are genuinely surprised that people hold different opinions.

The job of these people should simply be to report on what's going on not to express their opinions. Of course, even if they do only report what's going on, they choose to decide what is it that is important enough for them to report on and what is not. That is why we often don't see or hear stories in the media about things that we believe are important.

I believe in the first amendment and the importance of a free press, but things have gotten to the point where the press is not just free, they are a controlling force in this country.

I wish I had a solution to this problem but I don't. There's always a fine line between controlling something and violating the constitution.

Same with the second amendment. We all want to keep guns out of the hands of people that use them to do bad things, but how do we do that without violating the rights of good law abiding citizens.

These are not easy questions. I think that 24 cable news and social media both hurt and help the situation. It's up to the people to get on social media and speak out against abuses of power by the media.
