No. I can't stand Hannity. I find myself avoiding all mainstream media, right or left. How can I be an independent thinker if I align myself with only one side of an argument? But trying to stay in the middle is not easy because some topics are too strong, too compelling, to be ignored. Here is an example. On MSNBC just yesterday O'Donnel is talking about Trump's latest presser. He says that Trump lied many tiems in his statements. But wait.. Since when is expressing an opinion a lie? Opinions do not have to be factually correct. That's why they're called opinions. A lie, on the other hand, requires intent to deceive others. If a man knows the truth but then ignores it while trying to promote falhood then he is lying. But if the same man truly believes something and talks about it he should not be called a liar. The reason is becuase he blieves it and has no intention to deceive. The average non-thinking person has a major problem with this concept but in our courts of law a person's intent is often a strong argument in a defense. Those who do not think will scorn the use of logic. They always do. O'Donnel is an educated, intelligent man. He knows full well the difference between telling a lie and expressing a heartfelt opinion.
I prefer to listen to the average person doing a video so long as they don't use foul language which does nothing except to reveal a person's IQ and level of education.
