3. We don't watch any form of opinion based "news" in our house...

I will watch clips online from time to time. I like to hear what all sides are saying so that I can be prepared for comments made in conversations that I might have. Although, I must admit that I'm always way-laid by some of the stuff that I hear come out of peoples mouths.

I think that it's coming from all sides too. Both right and left. I freely admit to being a Liberal, and that I'd prefer to hear commentary from a left leaning broadcast. Having said that, I understand completely that the left leaning broadcaster is pandering to me, so I tend to take the subject matter as opinion and do my own research.

All things seem to be politicized today. Masks, vaccinations, color, ethnicity, and on and on and on... We're letting it happen to ourselves. The ability to think critically is a thing of the past for most. The masses prefer to be told what and how to think. It's a shame in my opinion - yes... opinion. I guess we all have them - lol.
