I was listening to Dennis Prager on 1330 on my morning walk and interestingly he was talking about fake news and the right/left alternative realities.
I am coming to the conclusion that we could use a neutral arbiter to begin to get us back to "reality". I don't know who to recommend. It would have to be someone who everyone respected. I'm talking about the need for this on a national level. Perhaps one or even two of our more prominent historians who have a depth of knowledge in our history?
Good luck with that. I doubt the right and left have ever been so far apart.
I'm afraid you're right, Tel -- and btw Dennis Prager is one of the many right wing talk show hosts owning significant responsibility for the rift. I try to listen to him from time to time, but when he starts spewing his spitting hatred for "the left" -- everything's the fault of "the left, the left" -- I can't stand it and just have to shut him off. He's a "reformed" Democrat -- worse by far than a reformed smoker. Also, like every other right wing talk show host, he's arrogant to beat the band. Can't stand him and his extremely narrow mind.
I think Dennis has become more extreme over the years. I used to like listening to him when he was more of a moral leader. These days he really has it in for the left. I'm sorry this has happened. I wonder what happened to change his attitude? He used to be rather reasonable.
