Final Exam

The liberal networks have sold the American public a pig in a poke. By not uncovering the truth of who this guy is and what his associations are we are all in a very embarassing postion. The world will ultimately look at this as the undoing of a once great nation. Just so you don't think that these are sour grapes I blame W for not securing the country politically on his watch. Wheather or not H can do int better remains to be seen.

RE: my last three posts...the Gay Old Pedophiles are like, huh? I didn't hear about that on Bill O'Really so it cannot be true. Wonder if O'Really ever mentioned Neil Mallon 'Silverado Savings' Bush and how his company Ignite! is making tens of millions off 'Leave No Child Behind'?

Why doesn't the media just report the news and skip the smear campaigns? MSNBC had nothing respectful to say about McCain/Palin until AFTER the election.

The media has a lot to answer for in so many respects, not just in politics, but in pushing any agenda that they have. THEY are the opium of the people.

I dont find any of the network "fair". There were six candidates running for president, but no coverage of their campaigns. No matter what the presumed outcome, shouldn't they have been covered as much? I mean, if they are going to call themselves fair and non-biased?

Joshua Alston - do you have your head in the sand? The news coverage for this election was awful. Sure, some of the technology was cool, but the biased media (both ways) really makes it difficult to watch. And what do you mean Rachel Maddow is the cable news person everyone can agree on - are you kidding me? If you are a republican, she is awful. If you are a democrat, you love her. BUT you can't say she is someone everyone can agree on --> she is about as liberal as they come in the media. Her and Keith Olbermann are probably the 2 most liberal people on cable news.

..and not to mention that Andrew Natsios and Andrew Card presided over Bechtel's Big Dig in Boston....Card went on to become Chief of Staff and Natsios went on to USAID, whence he handed out no-bid contracts to Halliburton and -yup - Bechtel...Natsios in now our ambassoador to Sudan, by the way...hmmm...

I am disapointed with the media as a whole. It was very obvious that they were bias for Obama. I live on the west coast and have heard for some time by the media that Obama was going to be the president, so why bother to vote. It is my right as a citizen of the United States to cast my ballet for the canidate I believe is the best (this time that choice was tough) but it is more than a little tiring to hear how all the eastern states have all made the decision for us.

I think that CNN handled it the best and they didn't DECLARE Obams the winner until we closed our polls, but that didn't stop any media outlet from letting us know that is was over.

I know it's not going to happen, but how nice it would be to cast the vote and wait until all votes are counted before the answer is broadcasted.

...and not to mention that Marvin Bush's Stratesec (Securicom) had the security contracts on Dulles airport, United Airlines and the Skull-and-Bones-owned World Trade Centers...and that Atta was stopped at the gate in South Portland before flying over the Family Bush compund's airspace in Kennebunkport...wonder who let him through? Wackenhut? Securitas/Globe Security?

ONE WORD: BIASED

ONE WORD....... BIASED

If we're talking about bias...why isn't anyone questioning the FACT that Fox owner Rupert Murdoch, a staunch conservative, created the Fox Network as the "fair and balanced" answer to the liberal media outlets? Does anyone here really believe that Fox is "fair and balanced" with the likes of Reilly and Hannity et al? Or is Fox more palatable, and the others less so, because it caters to your conservative viewpoints? I say folks here really need to examine the media with a scrutinizing but objective set of eyes. Sure you'll find blatant liberalism (MSNBC) but other outlets really do try to be fair and balanced. It's in their best interest to get as many people (ie. more moderate folks) watching their programs so they can sell advertising on it.

You betcha! The fundamentals of the economy are strong. Joe the Plumber is a paradigm of middle-class America. Making those who own 955 of the wealth pay 95% of the taxes is unpatriotic. We shouldn't inject racism into this election just because my opponent is a socialist Muslim naggrah. You betcha! <wink!>

CNN did an absolute great job on a historic night of television. I of course was sad because I wanted Hillary Clinton to win so badly (another historic event), but, I watched all the channels to be fair, but none could compare to CNN. They made us feel as though they cared what we had to listen to. They spoke in conversations, genuinely great 24 hour news channel coverage. I give MSNBC a very bad grade because it was just Matthews trying to butt into the middle of it all. Glad to see him almost gone. Fox was, for me, boring except when Shepard was there. He makes listening fun. I rate CNN a 10, Fox a 7 and MSNBC a 2
