But, if you cant acknowledge that the rhetoric in the media in recent years is far more vitriolic than anytime in our lifetime, and far more from the right than the left, then with all due respect, IMO, you have been living under a rock.
If that vitriol is ok with you, then absolutely, dont be part of any attempt to try to tone it down.

I was thinking about this as I walked into the office today. I don't think it any more vitriolic than what I thought I was hearing in the 80s during Reagan and Bush Sr. I say thought because we didn't have the media tsunami juggernaut we have today.
I think that the vitriol is okay. It's when the speech or thought turns into action which is not okay.
will, I commend you in taking that kind of time to get your own fair and balanced. I can't be bothered any more. Life is too short and my free time too precious to give away to those things I don't agree nor subscribe to anyways.
