This is what they are trying to do to our country; turn everything into an argument of 'opinions' and take away the ability to hold politicians accountable to the facts.
The other day I heard Coulter say 'I don't agree with your characterization of the facts.' A convenient way to dodge a tough argument.

She said, "I don't agree with your characterization of the facts?" What characterization of the facts does she agree with, her own? Duh.
I agree cyclo. They have tried to turn all news into opinion. (Has Vigerie been reading the New Journalism text? Copying Tom Wolfe and Truman Capote? If so, he doesn't measure up.) While you can't get the opinion out of the news.....all opinion is no news at all. I find it's best to admit latent subjective ideation.......bias, if you will, and proceed to report the facts as best you can. But saying that everything is nothing more than opinion is the very black/white simple kind of argument we have come to expect from the lack lustre, Evangelical, proselytizing conservative Republicans.
