Yes you are. You need to add Satirewire and the Onion to your diet immediately! Too much left or right-wing stuff can make a body ill.

At least 1 hour or so of broadcast (Fox/MSNBC/CNN) a day -- whatever the remote happens to stop on that looks interesting. The Onion of course (don't forget "Savage Love" while you're there )

I try to read a good, non-fiction book on present or past issues each month or so. I look for books that piss off extremists on both sides and figure the author must have done a good job. That one click on Amazon can be dangerous though, as can walking into a book store I can easily drop $100 or so.

I find myself watching Hannity and Colmes, on FNC, these days. Although Colmes clearly, is a liberal. His arguments are often intelligent, and make me stop and think.  I seldom agree with him. But he does give me reason to pause. Hannity is in the same "weight class" And I often pick up info there that I have heard nowhere else.

I get my news from just about anywhere that claims to provide it.
I then take all that data and feed it into the area of my brain where objective reasoning (hopefully) occurs.  I then formulate a position or opinion and express it if I deem it useful or at least, informative and/or entertaining.

Any source of lies and unfounded innuendo.
