Look at both sides so you can make a better-informed decision

To the editor,

I normally don't rebut letters to the editor because everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I'm compelled to respond to Dr. Thomas Dawson of Laconia.

Here's the doc's prescription and I quote: "Do not watch Fox News. Do watch CNN And MSNBC." And, "If you watch and believe Fox News, you are getting an extremley distorted view of America". He continues his one-sided rant by calling Fox News slanted, right wing and distorted. The doc continues on with a dig at Limbaugh people, sounding like a lemming willing to follow anyone who is even quasi-articulate as long as they have a cause he can latch onto.

Hey, Doc...I'll bet you didn't get that biased, blind-allegiance thinking in med school. Rather than follow your prescription, I'd prefer to be a more independent thinker, Doc... someone who cares enough to look at both sides of an issue so that I can make a better-informed decision as opposed to blindly following some broad-based ideology. So, take a chill pill, Doc... and try to look at all sides of the issues. BTW, O'Riley is on tonight at 8.
