Please Examine Media Pundits Carefully:
Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Al Franken, Jim Carville, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Ann Coulter, Joe Scarborough, Neil Cavuto, Michael Moore, Oliver North, Geraldo Rivera, Larry Kudlow, Jim Cramer...
Please don’t allow media pundits to close one's mind by demonizing the words “conservative” or “liberal” and fostering hate. One must always remember that media corporations, their highly-paid commentators, and advertisers can make a lot of money by fostering hate and misinformation. This website provides a host of alternative sources for information other than the mainstream media. While it’s easy to label and pigeonhole people into groups, such activity only separates humanity into mindless tribalism—and in the end, all of us will suffer from the destruction of our life-support system.

—Edward Bernays, Public Relations Executive and Employee of the United Fruit Company

—James Madison
"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party."
