You are right, one needs to listen to all sides and draw their own conclusion. That said, it is getting harder and harder to do that simply because there seems to be a lack of true sources these days.

My whole problem with this issue is that there is no such thing as "Freedom of speech" when what you say goes against the prevailing media/thoughts of the day. People who disagree with you will simply attack and dig and smear in an attempt to discredit and take away from the true issue. I’m glad to see she didn’t back out of what she believes in, just as I am glad to see the attacks did not stick. People need to stand for their views and not back away... Bravo!

He said almost the same thing she did, but he did elaborate a little more. You heard little or no heat from that. The media, both sides, is like a flock of blind sheep following the story that does the most to support their goals and agenda. This is why I listen to both sides as much as I can just so that I can piece together the middle ground.
