Yet the majority still watch the news daily and beleive everything they see.

This is the reason i come to ATS for my North East West South.

Here's recent communication I sent to Sally Kohn similar to this topic:

Greetings, Ms. Kohn: I am not writing to inquire a media appearance. Rather, I am writing to apologize on behalf of any spiritual, peace-loving, tolerant, open conservatives who listened to you being bashed by Hannity yesterday. I was disgusted by his treatment of you and, upon conclusion of the "interview," I changed the channel.

I've not been previously exposed to "Sally Kohn" and found myself interested in your positions, which were not in total disagreement with Hannity's. However he did not afford you so much as a second to get established! In fact, he was cutting you down in his introduction of you when he described you as "...a community organizer, whatever that means." Moreover, he continually accused you of being a liberal mouth piece for lefty talking points. Ha! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! In addition to repeating the same stats over and over, he answered his own questions on your behalf which appeared to me to be mere speculative stereotyping.

I transitioned over to Fox news years ago because of the "mainstream" media's clear left agenda. However, I've become just as disgusted with Fox's talk programming. Hannity's demeanor has become O'Reilly-esque with a longer fuse.

Whatever happened to the investigative journalist? The guy or gal who, in good faith and genuine motivation, seeks the truth and exposes it to the rest of us Truth Seekers by wading through the seedy subcultures for late-night meetings in the park with the whistle blowers and the Deep Throats?

NO news media is without agenda today, from you to Michelle Malkin, and from Fox to BBC and Al Jazeera. News has become a movement of varying political ideologies and THAT, in my humble opinion, is a major contributor to the polarization and inevitable destruction of our communities. You're feeding the Machine when the Machine needs to be shut down and retooled.

But, I digress...just know that there are still people out here, regardless of our conditioning and beliefs, who hold love and human compassion as values far more important than who's responsible for the deficit, the scandal, the corruption, the _________ (fill in the blank).

As long as news media focus on the problems, we will always have them. It won't be until, collectively, the media allows itself to focus on SOLUTIONS that it becomes a productive contributor to our community(ies) again.

Namaste.

Here is her reply:

Thank you for your email. I truly appreciate it. Please do rest assured that I know Sean's schtick and I know what I'm getting into when I agree to be a guest on his show. That said, I entirely agree with you about the need for civil disagreement and debate on both sides of the political divide and I'm very touched by the thoughts you shared. With gratitude, Sally

For what it's worth...

Now days if you are against war you are not compassionate and also thrifty of the public purse you are a terrorist.

If you want smaller more efficient government that provides for the liberty of the people and not much more you are a domestic terror threat (extremist).

If you think the Federal Reserve is a mechanism for transferring the wealth of the nation from the productive people to the idle elite and are against funding them you are a tax cheat.

They of course pay no taxes and are above such things. They are fully employed growing the public trough and making sure you are not invited to feed from it just contribute to it.

The last time I watched 60 minutes must have been in 1989 or so. If a tree falls in the wilderness and no body hears it does it matter? If 60 minutes reports something and only journalists from MSNBC and Fox even watch it who cares?

I like 60 minutes though...

I wouldn't have a TV if it was only me but my gf likes galaxy radio. I rather not listen to galaxy, I bet they send subliminal messages lol

Not really on subject, by she also wants some DD beats headphones and I keep telling her she's been manipulated by the ads has those headphones are too expensive for the quality they have and the look isn't that cool to begin with. Music is a weapon and MSM music is pointed at us.

No they aren't.

Period.

(Cept the ear buds.)

Beats by Dr. Dre, and quite possibly the very best headphones I have ever had in my life.... They aren't for casually listening, they are for professional studio mixing.... But, yes, they rock casually too... but they are a professional tool, and at a professional level, for extremely cheap in relation to the products they actually compete with. The fullsize 300$ ones are obviously the best, and not only are they amazing in sound quality and bass tones and noise cancelling..... they are outstandingly comfortable.... They are heavy too, so they won't fly off your head if you move a little fast either...

(By the way, the competitor headphones that it goes against, price all the way up to 2,000$ and they are still better quality. I know, from experience.)

(sorry for being off topic.)

Back on topic...

I saw that episode, they painted the SC's as domestic terrorists... which is a bit extreme. They used a case of a nutjob to make their point, as if one person splinters off into the extreme, it means the entire movement did....

No common sense and obvious propaganda....
