Great call out Ben. Better than ANY media coverage I've seen or read!

There was wrong done on both sides. But who's willing to sit down, discuss it and fix it??

Personally I prefer comedy to politics. The comedians rarely get it wrong and make us laugh in the process

I honestly don't know. I'm having problems finding anything wrong based on the information we have. Only Wilson will ever know the answer to that question.

My comment was more about the big picture, from both sides. What I liked about Watsons post was the perspective for both sides - something our media-driven, sensationalized society feeds on.
