Am I as brainwashed as they are?

[phylny]

I hate Republicans. I hate the party, I hate the lawmakers, I hate Fox News. I hate them. I don't think my hate transfers down to ordinary people, but it might. I know a lot of Republicans - some of them in my own extended family - and I don't personally hate them, but I hate their beliefs and what they are doing and have already done to this country with their votes.

Here's where I question myself: I drive around all day in my car for work and listen to SiriusXM Progress throughout the day. I start with Ari Rabin-Havt, who I can deal with in small doses, then Stephanie Miller, again, small doses. Thom Hartmann starts the highlight of my radio listening day, and the cherry on top is Michelangelo Signorile. My beliefs mirror theirs 99% of the time. I like to think that Progressive radio hosts, and I, form opinion based in fact.

But am I wrong? Am I just as brainwashed listening to these shows as the right wing is with their hate radio?
