Very true. Watch the reporting of any topic on MSNBC and FOX. You will see and hear extremes from both sides neither of them reporting anywhere near the truth. Yet, loyal followers of both channels believe their version. I am open minded enough to listen to all viewpoints and make my own opinion. If either side would be correct,it would be time for a civil war. Great news is they are both full of hot air and only the small number of extremists on the two tracks buy into the lies. America is just fine.
