Stilly River Sage...

You are the one who needs to get over yourself. You think you can throw your weight around and bully people who see things differently than you.

The fact is that my first response to Don was simply to say that I don't share his opinion about the public news outlets.

I don't share your opinion about NPR and PBS, Don (and the bias I see in those networks, I wouldn't at all describe as 'liberal'), but when we have networks like FOX to use as our point of comparison, I can understand how a lot of people would see them as fair and balanced.


But that wasn't enough for him. Because he, like you, will accept nothing less than full compliance with whatever you think you are entitled to do to others to bully them into accepting your views.

I am not going to be steam rollered by either your or him.

I tried to politely express my disagreement with his viewpoint. I also told him he is entitled to his viewpoint. But like you, he will not accept polite disagreement. He and you both need to impose your opinions on others.

Sorry, STILLY RIVER SAGE, but I'm having no part of it.
