I would agree. I re-read why I posted and it does come out the wrong way. What I was intending to say or along these lines is this, They keep on bashing and flaming you for how you present your argument (for example) or the stance you appear to support. I feel they are trying to force you to see it there way, which is something (that I was trying to communicate, but did poorly), but that is something that doesn't come through force. It is done by choice, expience, understanding, empathy, etc. Opinions never change if the person is unwilling to change themselves.

I don't recommend it if you only want to listen to radio which reinforces your partisan beliefs. Stretch I think everyone is partisan to their beliefs. I am not partisan to any party though. The first candidate that says he/she will close borders, being the #1 issue among americans. I will devote all of my free time and energy campaigning to get that candidate elected. <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> This election is a joke, There are about 815,000 Franklin County residents older than 18, according to the most recent census estimates, for 2003. As of yesterday, Franklin County Board of Elections officials counted more than 817,000 registered voters, and forms are still coming in at the rate of 8,000 per day as Monday?s registration deadline approaches. Seriously this makes me feel like my vote means less when politicians are pandering to illegals, and both sides have a squad of lawyers to fight with incase of voter intimidation. lasjdlfksjd im done...

Best Journalist on TV? I think my vote would have to go to Bill Moyers of PBS. http://www.pbs.org/now/Best Print Journalist....not sure. I think Seymor Hersch has a pretty strong track record as an investigative journalist. Bob Woodward can't say anything bad about him. I also have read some amazing things by Naomi Klein lately. Left wing radio is doing very well and is worth a listen if you are interested in balancing your perspective. They now have 36 stations nationwide and you can stream on the internet. Check out www.airamericaradio.com. Al Franken, and Randi Rhodes are both great. Personally I think that Michael Savage is a fear and hatemonger and people like him are bad for this country. I honestly can't stand to listen to him. He makes me sick. Get most of my news from newspapers (NYT, WSJ, WashPost, The Guardian) Radio-NPR,AAR TV-CNN, Daily Show

Al Franken is a lunatic. I have listened to him before. I think Michael Savage is a genius. I dont think it has anything to do with having an open mind. Honestly, i think people retain the information they want to hear. There are very few moderates and I think the moderates that exist are not heavily into politics like you and I. I will continue to listen to Michael Savage and you will continue to listen to Al Franken. That is the way it is.

I dont think AL franken, or Alan combs are traitors. I do think M. Moore is a traitor. He lied to undermine the presidency. He purposely deceives to get the unaware public into believing Bush is hitler as compared in his film. Savage is a man with convictions, like Al Franken, Alan Combs and some other liberal journalists. These guys believe in something and dispute it, debate it and spin it on there shows. M. Moore purposely tries to deceive with his edit jobs and his blatant lies. I think there is a difference here. Dont you?

I think they all use slander and spins, but I do agree that Moore is one of the worst. Although I still think the single worst lies and slander have come from the Republican party in terms of Max Cleveland in the 2k elections.
