8. A great approach would be not starting "questions" with bold assertions "So, ...."

It's comes across as a premise that you believe and not really a question. Then you confirm that you bought into the erroneous premise by stating that you "Wonder how long this has been going on".

If I had stopped watching all news, not even clips on DU, I might have asked "Is that split of Republicans common on the news these days? I stopped watching."

The way to avoid the first and use the second is to always read posts from the point of view of the reader, which you partially did because you added that you don't watch news. Practice makes perfect or, at least, better.
