“People say this country is going into a downward spiral, and everyone is getting worse. And I just don’t think that’s true. There are good people everywhere. We just don’t see it that way (because of the media)…Something we could all do tomorrow to be better Americans is watch a different news channel. It may be hard to hear the information sometimes. But it wouldn’t hurt to just listen to the other side for once. If people did it, it would help them get to know other people.”
