We are long winded because we are RIGHT (pun)
Just using knowledge guided by experience and putting forth some facts.
You must know that the mainline press/media is feverantly Left, and of course CNN and the such. So what if FOX is a tad on the conservative side, they have not been so pro-Bush lately! One media outlet, One, is a conservative? ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, all left wing. Mary Mapes mean anything to you. Washington post, NY Times, LA Times, Star Tribune (Red Star to me) all notably left wing biased. Sure, things are OK, and what they say must be the truth, as long as you agree with them. Step back and look at if from my stand point. And the majority of the county for that matter. The dems are loosing at the ballot box and are containing to loose. There socialistic agenda has been outed and they are being called a spade.
Good on you for being politically active and taking an interest in our great country, for whatever reasons you have. May the ballot box be the great equalizer?
