I got the latest issues of "American Conservative" and "Mother Jones".

I uh... Wha?

I thought a few things in each magazine were interesting, but mainly, I ended up stunned. I read them both over the weekend and I'm still shaking my head at the conspiracy theories and fear-mongeriing in each. Each side's reported perception of the other's "agenda" is so hate-filled, that It virtually nullified any credibility to be found in any of the articles.

Does anyone know of a moderate magazine? you know, one that reports both sides of an issue, or that doesn't portray the opposing viewpoints as stupid, but instead as equally valid?

I think there are a lot of Americans who believe the propaganda and rhetoric spewed forth by the red or blue side. However , there are also many Americans who think the die hards are equally ridiculous and who wish people could look at things strictly from a problem-solving viewpoint.

Does anyone see any way out of this gridlock and polarized system that has this rendered itself ineffective?

Yeah, I thought not.

Exasperatedly yours,
