I think you want it to turn, but not turn against anyone.
Some people pretend they can control a tsunami of passion and action. Then it flattens us and we call it hate. It's a difficult time to stand against "enemy" without being strong as one nation. So that's the challenge. Somehow co-exist as fellow Americans.
Politics forces choice; and funnels hatreds of other and different.
Soledad O'Brien was one of the first of us to "get it". A raging debate was happening over "objectivity" in journalism. Out past (i)is it dead?(i) there was the complicated matter of influence over even objective truth. And sensationalism as influence. Soledad dropped into the ocean of "news" and somehow stayed plumb.
