Preaching to the Choir

I get my updates on the news From certain magazines And papers, which are quite in sync With how my mindset leans. Of course, their editorials Make so much sense to me That I can’t understand How anyone could disagree. However, there are outlets For the news which do not jibe With my beliefs, endorsing those To whom I don’t subscribe. I neither read nor listen to These views, which I oppose And likewise, they’ve no interest In what my side might propose. All those preaching to the choir Know that time and time again, They would trade the chance of open minds To hear one more “Amen!”

It’s strange but true that we all tend to view and listen to stations/channels that are in line with views we already hold. It’s hardly the best way to gain insight into opposing views, but hey, we are but human. A smartly observed write, Ilene. Terry

A lot of what's out there is hogwash, but sometimes it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaffe. Tom
