Danzig,
To each their own.
Here's a recent writing by Soros:

not going to read it.

i get my news from many and varied sites, not just one, and not from a place saying they're 'progressive'.....that's as amusing as fox saying they're 'fair and balanced'. just cause you say you are something, doesn't mean you are! besides, i like to consider all arguments...nothing is black and white, it's mostly grey. so if you only get things from one point of view, you're missing a good bit!

Danzig,
I agree that things are mostly grey.
Believe it or not, I also gain insight from a variety of sources.
Heck, I've even spent time at the townhall.com site.
Open minds are open to answers, not closed to them due to their prejudices.
Seek and you will find.

Ok Danzig,
Point taken.
Here's something that has nothing to do with common dreams, in fact, it was published in the "heartland" of the US.

With all due respect DTS, your latest excerpt comes from the toledoblade. Now, in all fairness, is it not obvious that this publication would have just a small agenda? I mean, it is the blade. Not to say that the information is not accurate but your sources are easily questionable.

Surely there is a more universally accepted publication from which to garner the necessary ammo to support your points.

Again, no disrespecct.

agree with this 100%.
i'm skeptical of those offering easy answers.
