You & I know very little about each other & I would suggest that you are incorrect when you guess that ..."you seem to be closing yourself off to the possibility of that a different view holds credence because of your biases."
In actuality I listen to talk radio, watch all the major news networks (including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc) & CSPAN for gavel to gavel coverage of Congressional hearings, etc.
C-SPAN | Capitol Hill, The White House and National Politics...so I try to consider all sides to most issues & then choose sides as intelligently as I can.
One of my problems is that I tend to be very direct/blunt in conversation & debate & realize that I may appear to be totally one sided & closed-minded...which is not the case.
