I don't think liberals are the only ones brainwashed by the media. There are some conservatives out there that take everything Rush Limbaugh says as gospel. The problem with these totally partisan sources, whether liberal or conservative, is that they usually only give you half the truth. And when you only hear one side of the story, it's going to be very difficult to have a truly informed opinion. That is why I always try to hear both sides of every argument.

With regard to that specific story we were talking about, I highly doubt they were committing another crime while reading the bible. The judge in the case specifically said that the law prosecutors tried to invoke was likely unconstitutional as it gave law enforcement overbroad powers to quash public gatherings in the first place.
