Network TV and affirming bias

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if every right leaning person in the US had to watch CNN for a week while every left leaning person had to watch FOX News? And then go for dinner with someone they disagree with – to talk and to listen. Conversation is the most important part of democracy.

You could argue it would benefit everyone to hear a view different than their own. I argue that the biggest benefit of “crossing viewership” is that networks would have to generate real content and discussion and stop broadcasting news as sensationalist entertainment to one side or the other.

Amongst all the “real” issues we deal with to put food on our tables – a kid in a MAGA hat yelling and being yelled at isn’t a surprise – anyone watch the meeting in the Oval Office between the President, Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer?? I’m more apt to forgive a TEENAGER who doesn’t know any better than our AGED elected officials holding 800,000 federal workers hostage.

If you disagree – reach out to me. We should talk about it.
