There are differences among healthy skepticism, outright prejudiced (don't confuse me with new input that doesn't fit my world view) and willful ignorance. For example...

Healthy skepticism: "Now a days, people question all news and all sources"
Outright prejudice: "TOTV is just a victim of the times"
Willful ignorance: "Even though this forum is privately funded, people regard it as a cousin of the media".

Gee, I hope a distant cousin of mine never robs a train!
