dd:
I would include them as well, as I would all idealouges.
I am an equal opportunity contratian in many respects. Goebbels was a master at misdirection, and many today use the same methods that he pioneered (mass media), Like it or not, that is truth. I gave the example a time back about the two horse race in which the loser claimed that they came in second while the other horse came in next to last. This is a true statement, but totally misleading. That is called "spin".
There is a deliberate effort to warp facts and there is also those who observe, give opinion and really try to keep their personal opinions out of it. Not always successful, but at least those observers make an effort. The more observers, the more likely that there will be some degree of "truth" as the story unfolds. Far different than those who never leave the comfort of their armchair or studio and make assumptions about things they have never experienced. Would you believe a Hannity, a Frankin, or would you rather believe an imbedded journalist?
So what is truth? Can you define it? Even history is not the real truth.
I see both good things and bad things the administration has done. In admitting that, extremists on both sides feel they have to find me somehow lacking in sophistication and common sense.
