    You said

    ""There are highly intelligent subsets of people on both sides of the divide, just as there are complete idiots on both sides. If one honestly believes one side is rooted in objective truth, and the other in objective untruths, that person is clearly not in the highly intelligent subset of their own divide."

    I'd like to just clarify while I totally agree with your assessment of also like to throw in another group of people, people who will purposely lie and distort facts in order to score cheap political points. They may well be intelligent but in the end they are deceitful people.

    Naw you are just frustrated. You just keep coming at me with garbage. You keep trying to tell me that I'm close minded and blah, blah, blah. You can't even stay on topic.

    Well.....perhaps there will be some readers that just started on this page and have no idea of the totality of our conversation and will reflexively believe your summation provided here. You always have that possibility going for you. Other than that, you have been thoroughly exposed.

    Agreed. There are definitely far more than 2 subsets, and purposefully deceitful/dishonest is certainly one of them.

    The Heritage Foundation, the Cato institute, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, just about every right wing radio talk show host, the Republican Party, Devon Nunes, Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, Rudy Giuliani.....

    And if course Donald Trump.

    Seems to me, making up things is what Republicans do.

    Did you hear about Trump using hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in an effort to force the Ukraine to help him in his reelection bid. In the process two of his operatives were caught funneling Russian money into Trump's campaign.

    Or did Fox lie to you about this one too.

    LOL!!!!

    None of those compare in numbers to CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC!

    Fox is the only major network the right wing folks have...the alt left radicals have everything else!

    What a pathetic attempt you made!

    I think it is safe to say that we have both had ample time to explain our position, and I have zero interest in aimlessly bickering while continually hoeing the same ground. Its time to let the reader decide.

    Exactly. That is why I wrote the OP. Republican operatives have a habit of not being honest with the American people. Finally news anchors are calling them out for it.

    You have already been dismissed. You fair mindedness and judgment has been examined, and discussed. We have both fully made our argument. Let the reader decide.

    Or you are getting frustrated at getting your head handed to you on a platter. Over and over again.

    Every tv news outlet, in the world, says one thing and Fox says another. Consistently, day after day.

    "Are you distrustful of the coverage of what is happening now in northern Syria between the Kurds and the Turkish army? You have good reason to be.

    ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday and Sunday purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. The only problem is, the footage appears to come from a nighttime machine gun demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky.

    After seeing a comment from Twitter user Wojciech Pawelczyk, I began making some calls. As of this writing, it appears ABC indeed aired footage recorded in the Bluegrass State and claimed it was from Syria. The network has since pulled the video.

    'We’ve taken down video that aired on World News Tonight Sunday and Good Morning America this morning that appeared to be from the Syrian border immediately after questions were raised about its accuracy,' a network representative told the Washington Examiner. 'ABC News regrets the error.'"

    Those ABC bastards got caught faking it again.

    Do Democrats take an oath not to be deceitful? Are Democrat supporters made up of human beings with human behaviors as well?
