One thing about today's technology, it makes points of view other then ours available. That is, if you're willing to let your news come to you without going through the flag strainer.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

Oh totally agreed and I look at them too.
It was amazing watching the world's reaction to the default hostage situation. Inside the U.S., you have the same old 50/50 false equivalency where they'd show the Dem guy and then the TP moron and then just leave it at that.
Whereas the outside-the-U.S. reaction was universally: those people are f***ing crazy and b) look at what you've become.
But it's pretty sad that in the U.S. you have to watch a comedy show to get actual fact-checking.

I don't know if some just don't want to hear the whole story, or are afraid to hear the whole story.

That's probably why it's found on a comedy show, because news today is comedy, not news.
"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."
