I enrolled into college in 1966 and at the time, one would have probably pegged me as a LIBERAL. It was all about saving the world, no wars, peace and love and the government should take care of us all.
However, and I cannot explain why, I wanted to hear ALL OPPOSING VIEWS and every time there was a conservative speaker on campus, I would attend the lecture.
Those speakers never changed my mind, but I still wanted to hear them.
Today, most all college and university campuses are liberal minded except for the Business Schools or Departments. Most of the time, these school prevent conservative views from taking place on campus, so the students are hardly ever exposed to the other side.
To me, that is a form of censorship that is now extended itself out into the news media platforms.
It is not that they are censoring the conservative news, it is just that they are not broadcasting it - to some, this might be a form of censorship.
We should publish or broadcast both sides of everything and then let the viewer or consumer of the news decide for themselves what they want to believe and what they chose not to believe.
