Hate is so easy!  John Cleese says it very well.  We hate because it I easy!

Is America, does SBG, Fox News, or other media accept lies, are we normalizing lies "big and small?"

Extremism, aka "Tribalism" in America inspires hate and anger, then prevents solving problems we need to solve.  America is too tribal, too divided into our little groups of hate and anger, thus can never be great, never was great.

I think the identification of an opinion piece versus news reports allows Sinclair Group to propagandist the nation with extreme ideas supporting Trumpian values, and lies.

If SBG was not "gaslighting" the equivalency stated in USA Today or David Harsanyi in National Review.com might have some credibility.

But their opinions are not valid, SBG is not helping anyone by pushing bias, tribalism, and divisiveness.  No one benefits by winning an argument because everyone loses when one side wins.  Everyone loses when one opinion is lost for the sake of a louder, richer, stronger opinion, agenda, narrative, or view. 

The Sermon on the Mount had it right then and there in every way.  Whoever wrote that story had it right.
