You have to take commentary by our news media with a grain of salt. It has a
strong liberal bias and will always back a democratic president and demonize
a republican one.

To be honest, if I formed my opinion of the US based on our news media. I
would think we were total idiots as well.

Comments are my own, not my employer's... etc.
