In his First Inaugural Lincoln spoke about the "better angels" of our nature.  The current state of political discourse seems to have taken the opposite road.  The worst angels of our nature are revealed when TV talking heads like Beck and Olbermann spend more time talking about themselves (and each other) and not about issues that face Americans.  My biggest concern is that Americans fall for this stuff.  It amazes me that in an age when we have incredible access to information, fact checking, etc. people will allow their views and opinions to be shaped by one entity, usually MSNBC or FOX.  Both of these networks are proven to be biased, with CNN showing up as the most balanced.
