Teenage defense

Many people have expressed concern about concepts like moral equivalency and situational ethics but this type of approach has been used effectively for years by both parties. I call it the teenage defense, that is, every-bodies doing it mom. As long as the politicians can keep the animosity between parties hot and heavy they can use this as a cover up. Regardless of the dirty deeds as long as they can show that the other side did the same thing then all is well. People have taken up sides and when their side is affected all they need to do is find a similar incidence on the other side and they are home free. Until the citizens give up their personal bias and open their eyes to both sides of issues this excuse will continue to be used. Will people start getting their news from both left and right sources or will they stick to just listening to what they want to hear.
