All mainstream news media understand that their viewers and listeners bring a personal moral and biased mental frame of reference to every deliberative discussion and conversation. Mainstream media does not seem to understand that their institutional moral and biased cultural frame of reference is always percieved as dissonant to those individuals who do not share the media’s cultural frame of reference. Essentially, Tories and Patriots always percieve a dissonance when they hear the other side present their values and ideas. This is a result of the un-recognized bias that guides each side as they create their message.
The way to deal with our internal and external cultural values and bias is to always have a full and open exchange of reasoned and pragmatic ideas and values. Such a dialog will not change all minds, but some mindfull individuals will understand and reflect. Human reasoned choice is to be respected.
