Politics should not be this constant war between parties, where everyone has to battle for every inch. There was a time when the two major parties worked together to actually solve problems, not just cause anger and start up riots.

Fox news and CNN put everything into a perspective of how this will hurt one party and help the other.

Fox news and CNN brainwash you into have this "the other party is evil, therefore I must hate them any everything about them" mindset. I'm getting sick of this new found anger and hatred in politics.
Anyone agree?

Turn off the TV and form an opinion based on your personal values vs. the issues.

there is not much difference between the parties, both controlled by outside sources, both lie, both cheat, both steal

only one real difference, both want you to be a slave, one a slave to the government(controlled by corpoate interests), the other a slave to the corporations...in the end, its the same

Its a war of RATINGS.... Fox News is winning that war cause they seem to attract more of the "populist" attitude whereas CNN is doing the same thing but is focused on Fox News... fail... focus on the news instead of the competition...

Don't forget MSNBC , although they're less of a true news organization than the other two and more a mouth piece for the far left. At least CNN and Fox do pursue viewers foremost and the revenue they bring and cover the news and commentary to that end.
MSNBC is more like Pravda.

When you are not the lead dog in the race the view is always the same.

Certain media outlets exploit the hate Americans have for each other, and there's plenty of it.

lol... Fox is less biased than MSNBC? Yeah, right. I guess we know which side you favor.

And how is a program like "Lockup" a mouthpiece for the left? Yes, I know there's Keith Olbermann, Ed Schultz, etc., but they're not on the majority of the time. Also, MSNBC doesn't even broadcast news or opinion shows on the weekend.
