Although adhering for years to around 75% of what you suggest, I disagree with total disconnect. It proves imperative to know your enemy. The Left know their enemy well, as demonstrated by America advancing daily toward total destruction. To know my enemy, for instance, I subscribe to an influential leftist blog, and it proves educational in watching its maneuvers from donations to postings to supporters, et cetera.

What you warn about brainwashing due to repetitiveness rings true. One must remain alert to this risk. The risk is worth it, however, because being oblivious sticks one's head in the proverbial sand.

[Using your commentaries as a yardstick, this counts as my first disagreement, so I must not be brainwashed yet.]

You are free to disagree, of course. I used to have this view that you have to watch the news from Big Media in order to see the other side of things. But three things... First, I don't think it's possible to prevent yourself from being brainwashed to some degree if you keep that spigot open. Second, even if you actively try to remove yourself from Big Media, you will still hear their message plain and clear. Third, by listening to honest, independent journalists and commentators, I receive a very well rounded view of the world. Moreso than people who listen to Big Media.
