I think a good place to start would be to shut off Rush, or moveon.org, and put on some good Beattles, or for you hillbilies some Johnny Cash. Not much good comes from any talk radio except to incite the masses. Hate is easy. Common sense, and logic take more than a 5 second sound byte. Research the information that you hear, and make sure it's the truth, not just someones interpretation of it.

My Dad used to get all riled up over what he heard on the news, and my wife STILL does.
For years I refused to watch or listen to it because my opinion was, it was all sensationalism designed to increase their ratings vs. their competition. Somewhere buried in all their ramblings are traces of truth, only as CYA.
When my Dad jumped on the soapbox I offered him this small bit of advice, "The TV has an On/Off switch. Exercise your options".
Even Will Rogers didn't get it exactly right.
