I am concerned about justice, fairness, real freedom, the environment, real equality. I know who tends to advance these causes, and who doesn't.
Yes, there are many many blue propaganda / demonization 'news' sources out there. There are also many many red propaganda / demonization 'news' sources who pushed a predominantly horrific image of Obama. Sane functional red leaning folk will argue that what they heard on Fox can be verified on Breitbart. Color me dubious. I detest the red propaganda organs as much as the blue, perhaps more.
But I don't buy in all in to either alternate reality.
I don't buy into alternate facts or alternate realities too much. I think there's such a thing as truth, at least.
I don't give equal weight to blue and red accounts just to be diplomatic. Truth can lie more on one side than another. Or should we go back to slavery? What'ya think?
