Traditional news media are tools of the Conspiracy and the right-wing
fundamentalists (be they Democans or Republicrats).

Not from where I'm sitting.

Only if the planets are aligned just so, and my supply of newt isn't running
low.

They do as they see fit.

It's perceived as others want to perceive it.

>12) Have your views changed because of discussions on line? How?

Yes, they've gotten stronger.

Our online discussions are a constant wave-pool of online anit-dogma.
