    The worst stations, radio or tv, are very subtle with regard to insertion and weaving of bias within their news stories to fit their left wing agendas. It is insidious and most listeners do not realize they are slowly and constantly being brainwashed.

  10. I could not imagine telling a lady who went through the agony of a miscarriage that I was sorry she lost her fetus.
