"Pew [Research] discovered that conservatives are consuming a right-wing media full of lies and misinformation, whereas liberals are more interested in media that puts facts before ideology. It’s very much not a “both sides do it” situation. Conservatives are becoming more conservative because of propaganda, whereas liberals are becoming more liberal while staying very much checked into reality."

"The problem with this is watching Fox News actually makes you less informed than if you don't watch any news at all. In a 2012 study, Fox News viewers rated the absolute lowest in ability to correctly answer questions on a quiz about recent news events. People who didn’t take in any news programs at all did better on the quizzes."

Worth reading, but only for those with an open mind.

Just for facts and record, AlterNet is a progressive liberal left activist news agency. Nothing "open-minded" about it.

Perhaps you'd prefer to go to the source, Pew Research - or do you prefer to dismiss them as 'left activist' as well? Political Polarization & Media Habits | Pew Research Center

Sorry to let you in on this Brian but Pew has it's issues as well. Quoting their own statement about the media; "Most of them are fairly straightforward news organizations with no overt political agenda, like NPR, various network news, CNN, and the New York Times." NPR? CNN? Do you think for a second that the cited news agency's have "no overt political agenda"? Come on! The Pew study is flawed from the beginning with the assumption that Fox and Rush are providing false information while the other news agencies are all providing the truth. Then it provides the reader with lines about how paranoid conservatives are and how they find liberalism "around every corner". They're going to beat you to the punch, so to speak and give liberals the script to use during lunch time conversations about politics. I watch a number of other news channels besides Fox and a lot of what I see is "tow the liberal line" from every outlet there is. See how liberalism infects the very thought process of those with the disease. Don't be so naïve.

Oh my, I laughed and laughed....I mean that is seriously funny. While I'm no fan of Fox News I'm sure all those lefties watching MSNBC, HuffPo, etc, etc. are there for the 'straight facts' with no spin.

OTOH looking at the all the folks that like Trump and Carson makes me want to cry. These bozos are as bad as Sanders. Pure populist tripe and divisive drivel with not even an idea of what it would take to govern the country. Sounds nice to say you don't want a 'politician' but guess what, this is politics.

I was wondering how long this would run before people started taking their eye off the ball and going the man.

Here's a thought though, if Clinton wins then an entire generation will have only seen US presidents from one of two families.

Lets hope that doesn't happen.

Yea, I agree. Actually, where it's now heading doesn't sit well in my stomach. I'd rather stick to Cobra's on this site and save all my political rants for my friends on Facebook to unfriend me with.
You guys carry on!

Incubus. Plural=incubi. And you're right - incubus/succubus definitely = politician

[Danr55]

Joe, You're spending too much time in your garage. Trump has been politicing for years. He never got elected because he couldn't afford the pay cut, but he has been right there in the middle of it for years. While Dr. Carson was separating conjoined twins, Trump was making millions by shoveling **** with the rest of the politicos... Regardless, it comes to a matter of trust. I don't trust Donald Trump. I do trust Dr. Carson. BEN CARSON FOR PRESIDENT! ... and I would love to see him recruit Condi Rice as a running mate...

Another non-fact, it would be one of three families, let's see if you can figure it out

Jeb
Trump

Agreed, though some conservatives would rather re-write history to eliminate all references to the Obama administration.
