I read Fox news and Daily Wire and Briebart. Guess that makes me a brainwashed right winger from your perspective.
I also read CNN for entertainment and a look at how the leftists are slanting their presentation of the news.
As CR pointed out, most religious institutions have suspended group services voluntarily, regardless of whether, or not, their Governors, as our Florida Governor has done, allows them to continue to congregate.
There will always be a fringe few, under any mandated restrictions, that refuse to obey voluntary guidelines. There will even be some who defy mandatory guidelines. Using a few examples that have had the spotlight of scrutiny shined upon them by them by the media as representative of the whole is short sighted.
Ah look, more espousing of politics. I made a commitment to calling out the political posts, but I think I missed a few before this one in my catch-up of the drama that happened here over the weekend.
If you'd left the politics out of this post, I'd only have this to respond to, which is an actual contribution to discussion:

This highlights why trustworthy institutions are so important.
There are certain cable and blog-style outlets masquerading as news that don't want you to trust any institutions because it benefits them and theirs at the expense of you and yours. But we should leave them out of discussion here.
It was a RESPONSE to some one casting aspersions on anyone who reads Fox news.
It was an attempt to undermine the portrayal of some one based on what they read.
I balanced it by pointing out that the news through a filter door swings both ways.
Get a grip Loka
My grip is quite strong, but your concern is noted.
Your response doesn't change the fact that you took what you took for an implication (which may very well have been there!) and made an explicit political statement. This is why I have been saying that everyone in this thread needs to self-censor quite a bit more: take a moment, stop and think before pushing "Post" - does what you're about to say cast aspersions on someone, implicitly or otherwise? Are you being childish or churlish, for the sake of your own ego? If there is any doubt, then go back and make sure the post is community-friendly. We are all of us part of this community and we should all do unto others as we would have other do unto us.
I'm not referring to you in particular with the "you" above, Hans - it's intended for all.
