They will present different speakers to give opinions on topics and it is helpful, altho, it is more left-leaning. Fox News is avoided all the time as they just make up stuff and spread the lies that are coming from the Republicans here in the US. So you can probably see which way I am leaning. It is depressing the division that exists here and I don't know how we will move forward.Ellen D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03776803182673252265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-741681546421612622021-06-23T14:23:19.497+01:002021-06-23T14:23:19.497+01:00I desspair of it all and in my cowardly way I opt ...I desspair of it all and in my cowardly way I opt out mentally.
