The President appeared on Letterman last night and over the weekend in one of his media blitzes specifically refused to appear on the Fox network. I realize he is not the only one doing this but I think that attitude is short sighted.
The President is not alone in this proclivity. A lot of conservatives only speak to conservatives. Fox News and Salem Radio are locked into their own worlds. That creates a perception, but not a reality.
Our democratic system is based on the interchange of ideas. But with Letterman and Fox and a whole bunch of other options we do not have that engagement. That is sad.
Playing it safe - be it left or right - is wrong.
