Extremists do not compromise, and they are never wrong. They deny their humanity and are willfully ignorant. Your voting 'across the aisle' shows that you are not a rabid extremist, and are capable of free thought. You're just a little misguided sometimes.

The original point though was that the media leans to the right which was countered with -no, it leans to the left-.......I don't think anyone was saying that the media is "extreme".

Therefore, for the purposes of this debate, I think "moderate" is much more narrow than ~anyone who isn't a rabid extremeist~

If I am wrong, then yeah, everyone here except ISM and myself are probably "moderate" /
