It's truly frightening how many people cannot see this. It feels like so many people have spent zero time around people of the opposite side of the political spectrum from their self.
Particularly, how can so many people criticize article after article and news story after news story for being inaccurate or misleading, then turn around and believe every word against they read for their party or against their opposing party?
