I can’t believe this thread lasted this long on a R.E. site.
This site didn’t provide any new insights so, before I delete this link a couple of thoughts.

The original post, ps, you posted (parroted) a quote
from Spiegal.
Reading news (all opinion and/or propaganda) from around the world falls short of the true (I assume, unless your goal is purely self validation) purpose of the endevour.

I browse through hundreds of publications world wide daily
(it’s my work), I say browse, meaning when something of interest is found, I look for the actual source of the content, then the motivation(true intent) becomes (hopefully) clearer, then I have an idea of
where and to whom to go for something more concise.
Needless to say, it’s necessary to find and look at all sides (not both) of a….. “event” however distasteful and tedious, in order to attempt even a modicum of understanding.

My point(s) (there are several), maybe take away this one, reading and gathering information that only validates your opinions is ultimately worthless to you and those you espouse it to.

I would also suggest that the practice of using vindictive toward those with whom you disagree and their subsequent opinions be stopped. Name calling and insulting comments is not the way to create an dialogue. If it’s a dialogue you want. It shows a style that has no class. If you cannot show respect to those with whom you disagree (until they have proven they aren’t worthy of it)
you certainly aren’t entitled to it. It’s juvenile and shows a lack of intelligence.

I didn’t come here for social rhetoric, I came here to see if there was something to be gleaned as to a section of the market in San Diego from those who are living it.
Ignore the typos and grammatical errors I choose not to fix them but move on.
