Media Mess

Read this.
 
 
“…Campbell is part of a stubborn wedge of people who, somehow, are still making up their minds about who should be president.”
 
What’s wrong with still making up your mind…there is still time to do so.  And how is that stubborn?  Some people need all the time they can get to make a decesion they feel comfortable with.
This condescending reporting is unfortunetly the norm.  Espeically, with a candidate such as Obama, who people just don’t know that well…there is no harm in waiting til the day of voting to decide on who to vote for.
 
If anything in this election, I have learned that the media at large (TV networks, AP, most newspapers) is biased toward a given party and out of touch with the people that actually think things through and don’t vote along party lines.  The independent thinker is rarely talked to anymore.  Don’t scare me or even try to convince me.  Report the facts and point out the bull ON BOTH SIDES.  That’s it.  For my political news I turn to CSPAN…where no one talks besides the candidates.
 
I’m not convinced that all of the media has a hidden agenda toward a given party…but they are sure doing a great job at polorizing America.
