Politics and the Media

I just finished watching the most interesting interview. If you can find the site to http://www.howobamagotelected/ it is so eyeopening. The first time that I watched it, it was to see exit interviews with some of the brain trusts that helped to inflict BO on our country. I have never seen such a collection as the ones I watched that day. I kept thinking of the quote from Forrest Gump, "stupid is as stupid does." Not only were these people totally ignorant of the facts, but they had been so influenced by the media, that they simply attributed anything good with BO and anything bad with McCain and Palin. Now, I will be the first to say that the way the RNC handled Sarah Palin was ridiculous. They should have just let her be herself and not try to cram her into some cookie cutter that they had chosen. She is brilliant, and a huge threat to every liberal out there. How do I know that she was a threat? Because of the incredibly vicious and personal attacks, that's how. Can you imagine any one starting the rumor that Hillary Clinton wasn't Chelsea's Mom? I've heard the jokes, and while tasteless, they are funny. But the point is, the liberal media would have quickly shamed anyone who dared to impugn the child of Hillary Clinton by saying that children should be off limits. That seems to be true unless you are talking about a Republican child. Look at the flack that was raised over George W. Bush's daughters. At one point, the media and tabloids had them one step away from an appearance on Girls Gone Wild. Nice. But, as I said, their biggest crime was in being the children of Republicans, wasn't it? I'm sure that MSNBC and CNN would like to make that a capitol offense if they could. But the point I am taking so long to make is that the bias in the media is so overwhelming as to be laughable. There was a time when the liberals even tried to argue that this bias didn't exist. Now, instead, they point to talk radio. See? They cry, with their bottom lip poofed out. The talk radio is so overwhelmingly conservative that we should be able to pass laws mandating fairness!! I think such a law already exists. It's called the law of commerce. If talk radio wasn't hugely popular, the sponsors would run from it in droves. Like that foray AirAmerica, the liberal attempt at talk radio. All I can say is, if Al (why look, I just found some more votes) Franken is so great, why doesn't anyone want to listen to him? Enough of this mind scattering. The mainstream media clearly has an agenda. A simple conversation with any of them and you can see it for yourself. Their ideas have been presented as normal, but they aren't. At least not to the average person, anyway. Question what you hear from media sources. There was a time when you could take it at face value, but that time is long since passed. Be careful. Like the song says, believe half of what you see, some or none of what you hear. You'll thank me later.
