In the Oct. 5 Recorder, columnist John Bos has a long column about our country’s division [“Tamping flames of division”]. It’s mostly (as much as he can be I guess) bipartisan.

Then toward the end, he makes suggestions about how we can be more understanding of each other and suggests, “By being intentional about our media consumption (avoid Fox News, et al.)” Of course listening to the constant liberal bias of our mainstream media makes us more understanding of each other.

People like this are exactly why we don’t listen to each other — they can’t understand their own inherent biases.
