An excellent commentary and one that I hope many people read. The continual idiocy of the modern media--that there are two polar and diametrically opposite opinions--is a plague upon our time. Even scientific evidence is either left-wing (global warming) or right-wing (say, intelligent design). The evidence or the need for empirical observation has been lost. Anything that contradicts the far-right talking points (i.e, daily propaganda list) of the Murdoch & Friends is automatically attacked as a product of 'socialist' 'elitists' who are 'out of touch', when their actual goal is the promotion of hysteria and fear as tools to continue the promotion of social inequality.
