Step One would be to look at the way you behave - nastiness, dishonesty, straw man arguments, hate, bigotry, personal insults, name-calling and distortions - and do the opposite, absolutely as often as possible, until it becomes second nature.
You let that butthurt out, little spanky.
It isn't your views I have a problem with. It's your pomposity. It deserves all the mocking I and others inflict on it.
But you avoided the point. Fox and MSNBC are the logical conclusion of News as product rather than as public service. Fox exists because conservatives didn't like the liberal bias (I.E. facts ) presented by the mainstream media. MSNBC merely copied Fox's formula.
If enough people on both ends of the spectrum could just do that, make that one behavioral change, act like decent, reasonable adults, perhaps we'd see some momentum in a positive direction. Who knows, that might be enough.
No, we really won't.
You see, the thing is, I voted Republican for decades. The real problem- the republicans went full on crazy.
You see, nothing wrong with having a liberal or a conservative viewpoint on how to solve problems. The problem with the nuts on the right is that they ignore science if science doesn't validate their viewpoint.
Global Warming? That can't be happening if it requires government solutions, and the private sector is what got us into this mess! Ignore the melting ice caps, dying coral reefs and 95% of scientists who study this stuff.
Evolution? That means the bible might be wrong about other stuff! Ignore all those fossils!!!
