Balance is seldom that, but used as more of an indicator of whether we agree with the voice or not. First amendment rights died in this country long before I was born. A sufficient example for me is that I must put up FTA to see dissention non-approved by the gov't.
I can't wait for Al- to hit T5. There would be far less of the so-called turmoil in the middle east if the US foreign policy wasn't there. I never bought into the idea that it's been going on there for centuries- nowhere near like it is now and we are a signficiant contributing factor.
