"faux' news

I was watching Fox today to see what the trolls are saying after our victory. I saw a show which consisted of a discussion by 5 people, 4 conservatives and one token liberal (Bob Beckel). Could not believe what a poor excuse for a progressive this guy is. Constantly agreeing with the conservatives and the best he could do is to state that while the election was not a mandate for Obama, neither was it a mandate for the republicans. No wonder Fox viewers live in a bubble, totally removed from the real world.

cable channels, gated communities, mostly-white suburbs, and the fact that at least some people have actually moved to areas they're more suited to politically/socially, that we've ended up with fair numbers of people on both sides who have little to no contact with the other. And neither way is really good for the country.
