E-Mail ITHACA, N.Y. - We ve all seen them: political ads on television that promise doom gloom if Candidate X is elected, and how all your problems will be solved if you choose Candidate Y. And Candidate Y, of course, approves this message. Beyond attempting to move a large swath of the population to vote one way or another, the seemingly constant bombardment of negativity in the name of our democratic process is anxiety-inducing, researchers have found.

comments The endless mainstream media urge to cast any and every partisan conflict in both sides do it terms no matter how one-sided any conflict actually is hit a shocking new low on Friday morning when the Washington Post ran this front-page headline: Congress hits new levels of partisan rancor. The Post s appalling headline really underscores the mainstream media s slavish dedication to false equivalence. It minimizes the growing Republican support for the violent insurrection of January 6 and the continued Democratic anger over those events as merely a partisan spat.
