"we need to get out of our silos, where we only listen to those with whom we agree....." [View all]

Will people here take that to heart?

How many posts have there been of people saying they won't listen to CNN, or won't listen to MSNBC In the daytime, or won't listen to some evening hosts, because they said something, or had a guest who said something that they disagreed with?
