To respect the fact that someone might hold an opinion other than your own. If not for the &#8216;Liberal&#8217; Press who would represent any opposing view point. The press, were it not Liberal, would be required to represent only one viewpoint. And that wouldn&#8217;t be <b>Freedom of the Press<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>But for most, this is a hard job. But no one said U.S. citizenship was supposed to be easy. To allow someone to shout at the top of their lungs, that which you would oppose at the top of your lungs, takes real effort, real citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>This citizenship seems to be sadly lacking in the Right-Wing blogsphere, and the Republican propaganda machine.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been bothered by a recent study the claims to document the &#8216;Liberal&#8217; bias of the press.
