It's difficult for me not to, especially when discussing politics. Fox is the loudest, most obnoxious mouthpiece for all that I detest. Those far right conservatives that have ruined the party for moderate republicans are welcomed there with open arms- their thinly veiled bullshit given undue legitimacy.
MSNBC serves the same purpose for the far left, though the vitriol and hatred isn't nearly as intense.
The media and modern political discourse are inseparable. It's the vehicle through which the propaganda from both sides of the spectrum is spread. You can't have one without the other.
