vocabulary to find expletives needed in only rare cases. You, of course, can exercise such indiscretions as you wish. With the exception of the NICU, in my opinion.

I'm then ready for what gets thrown at me by RW friends. Yes, I have some RW friends. Actually, if you don't talk politics they're all good people. Then you often find that you want the same things but differ on how to achieve them.

But I choose to know the "enemy" well enough that I can also subvert what they do among heir base by planting doubts. ONe person at a time. It works.

I don't watch any tv news, so there is no way to single them out.

If I ever, in some alternate universe, feel the need to get my news from the boob tube, it won't be FOX.

Its like you turning RW from watching a conservative show.

Chances are 0%. All it does is up their ratings.

Plenty of people have no choice while sitting in waiting rooms or other public places where Fox is often on. Outside of presidential addresses and election nights, this is really my only exposure to any cable news.

You never know who you might reach, and if you make your argument in good faith, I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of.

provide food for thought.

I don't see why a person has to have a sudden conversion or it's no good. No one changes their mind suddenly. It takes a while.

WTF could possibly be wrong with a liberal going on faux news? If they never did the right wing would never hear the liberal side. Their bubble would get a lot bigger.
