Well put. People should turn off their TVs and computers and rediscover an AP-affiliate newspaper. (Yeah, like that'll happen; then we'd have to form our own opinions rather than having pre-digested pap spoon-fed to us.)
Feedback posted in on-line "news" venues is anonymous. It's easy to talk trash when nobody knows who you are. And most of us are guilty of getting way to worked-up over it.
