Taking Sides

Conservatives and Liberals and all others on the various rims and edges. It bothers me how quickly sides are taken up in reaction to anything taking place that is deemed as remotely newsworthy. The same people always on opposing sides. Before the entire story can be fleshed out. Never any crossovers among the sides. Never any agreement between individuals of opposing sides. The news breaks and all over the internet and (supposed) television news channels, you see the sides immediately form. No pausing to think it through. No investigation is seemingly involved. Details are taken out of context in ways to attempt to cause the other guys to look silly. Everything is black and white to the respective sides. No chance that any of them might admit that they could be wrong. Each side acts as if having an opposing view is a sin against justice and all that is good and label those people as "haters." Its as if they agreed long beforehand on the sides for any given issue.
