left must be presented with balance from the right but not visa versa
Every time I see Cindy on the TV there are at least two mothers or others who do not approve of what she is doing, being interviewed right after. Why, whenever there is a right wing point of view being presented are there not at least ONE LEFT person being interviewed to BALANCE the reporting. The media, whenever they present a left view ALWAYS follow with a dissenting right voice. I am so mad about the glaring evidence that they do not do the same whenever a right wing person presents their views. Right is a given, Left must be rebuffed by a righty. It is so apparent and sickening.

2. Hi!
:hi:
I also notice that the "right" can say almost anything, a lie, an exaggeration, a personal opinion presented as fact, and the interviewer says NOTHING about the accuracy of the statement! It is just taken at face value.

3. it is so brazen especially with Cindy and looking back with the
Swift boat liars. They were interviewed endlessly and no one felt the need to balance it with a fact check with others who were there.
