[Vision2020] Say What?

[Paul Rumelhart]

All news programs show bias.

That's the sum of my arguments.  I'm not saying anything about all of 
them showing the same amount of bias.  It's simply advice.  When a 
talking head on TV or on YouTube is telling you something, immediately 
wonder what the bias is.  That's it.

You know, we'd all get along better around here if we'd stop drawing so 
many damn lines in the sand.
