The problem now, is we have 24 hour news channels, that all need something to
talk about. We also have "social media" where everyone feels they need to
post their opinions as fact. From the looks of things, we are seeing a
political push in hopes of swaying the election in November. Have you heard
the phrase 'Divide and conquer'? In my opinion, that's what some are trying
to do right now.
