Oh Jebus this looks like a grad school dissertation.

I think people read and hear what they want to and tend to gravitate towards the sources of information that reinforce their beliefs. There is a reason that Faux news did not show the famous pictures of the soldier’s caskets. Whether or not they wanted to follow along with the wishes of UU, they realized that their viewers would not approve.
