I'm not giving anyone a pass, Jacqueline.

I don't watch Fox News. I don't follow Hannity, O'Really or Limbaugh. (Once in a blue moon Limbaugh is on my radio going home from lunch, but mainly for the lulz, he's at least funny sometimes, but never moderate).

I have a deep seated mistrust for 90% of the news media in this country. I don't believe we're given the truth, we're given soundbytes for the sake of entertainment and ratings. But that fits with my general mistrust of politics, as well. Lord help us if we could ever find a candidate who didn't have to whore their personal principles to special interest groups just to grab power. We might actually get an effective government for a change.

Not gonna happen, but meanwhile nobody gets a pass from me - not Fox, not CNN, and most certainly not whacko fringe radical groups on ANY extreme with axes to grind.
