    I wouldn’t say that if that wasn’t what you’re doing. Be smarter. Think for yourself. Take in all viewpoints and then decide what you think. All I see is idiots spewing what cnn and msnbc tells them to say. Same way on the other side. There are plenty of morons spewing their shit too. People need to think independently. It’s a lost are and is literally why the country is divided. By design.

      I linked the AP and The Guardian, not MSNBC. I haven’t watched mainstream news (by my own choice) in my life. I’m not repeating media talking points because I got it from the media. I’m repeating media talking points because the media talks about stuff that’s relavent.

      You need to learn to think at all and to accept that other information can come that doesn’t agree with your worldview and that’s OK. You should accept that information and adjust your beliefs accordingly, not just dismiss it because it makes you feel bad.
