These people interviewed are full of bs when they talk about angery rhetoric. They intentionally, incorrectly blame the anger/coverage on the pundits, news reporters and other such scapegoats--when those people only sell their product to a demanding auidence. It is like a drug, and so long as a drug is popular, so too will there be dealers out there.

But do those who complain point the finger rightly at the buyers (To the people?) No, they need their votes and viewers, and so they cower out and in the process solve nothing.

Fox is popular for its hate, not its respect. Fox and MSNBC could both take the high ground, but then you take away their viewers. And then Moxy and DXMSC would put them out of business and take their place with the angery, average American.

@Lawdeedaw you're sounding pretty fatalistic.

If the people with these audiences told people to calm down, and then led by example, I think people would follow suit.

If the rhetoric is a symptom, and not a cause, what's the cause?
