Al, be honest with yourself. You never considered Rush, Hannity, FOXNews, the Washington Times, etc. to be part of the "mainstream media," did you? After all, they're just a bunch of extremist kooks, right?
I am not sure why this is relevant. Still, you would not argue that Rush and Hannity etc...have no influence on mainstream thinking, would you? Or at the very least that they focus is on influencing public opinion? Nor would you argue that their message is not filled with outwardly spoken divisiveness? Anne called half the US treasonous. Rush regularly calls that same 1/2 stupid. Ditto for Sean. Show me the "liberal" CNN, NYT, etc..equivalent of this kind of dirt.
After all, "balance" is subjective when your center-of-gravity isn't very centered to begin with, isn't it?
I have noticed a troubling tendency your posts.... increasingly they focus on the personal "observations", rather than the issues....YOUR "center of gravity" has shifted towards the subtle personal cheap shots. Why do you suppose that is?
