I have this problem. I like conservative positions, but I can't stand the people who speak up for them. It embarrasses me to be thought of in the same sentence as that kind of person.
No matter now much you might dislike CNN, I have found that some (not all) of the evening line-up is as even-handed as anyone could hope for. Sure they are liberal. But they don't hide that fact. And they are willing to call-out their own people for stupid statements, bad responses, etc. I just never could say that about Fox. And there really is no one else except wannabes.

This is much how I am! Sure, I'm conservative/libertarian, but more than that I am a son of the living God. So the mean-spirited divisiveness, to me, is just a worldly, fleshly thing that is quickly passing away (and not too soon).
