I guess you can call it a double-edged sword. People say stay informed and know the issues. They tell you to watch the news. They tell you read the newspaper, but when you seek out these sources in your quest to stay enlightened you end up getting frustrated, especially if you are conservative or subscribe to traditional American values. Why? Because you are being force fed pure, unadulterated liberal BS chock full of their biased views. So the next time you just happen to sit down in front of the TV, pick up the newspaper or click on that webpage don't question that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Because if you're anything like me you probably want to throw up because it is no secret as to what the liberal media is trying to do. These organizations have the audacity to try to pass the garbage they peddle on the public as objective news reporting. And it just gets progressively worse every year. The news coverage of the presidential primaries and general election season has been and is an absolute farce. Most major media outlets and their talking heads are nothing more than a marketing arm of the Barack Obama campaign. To these people this man can do no wrong. He possesses no real experience or major accomplishments, can outright lie through his teeth and

>>I think there is plenty of competition, but to "beat" the competition, it seems like that they have have lowered the bar.
You are right. That's why I advocate for different roles in the media. Newspapers can fill in the details that are missed by television. There should always be a competition based on the content of the stories, IMO.

My goodness it must have taken hours to compile this load.
Basically, conservative/Republican only want their ideas to be heard. Any media outlet that doesn't conform to the party line it attack by giant loads of rhetoric, just like this one.
I do love to read debate boards although I really don't understand their purpose.

I know it's sad when both the right and the left don't allow freedom of speech.
>>I do love to read debate boards although I really don't understand their purpose. Only because over the years I've learned that we can't change eachother's minds about anything.
I've changed my mind because of discussions on debate boards. I've also learned a heck of a lot -- about my values, the values of others, and plain old facts. I live in a very liberal area, so it's important for me to hear the conservative perspective. I don't know about you, but I despise the "us v. them" trend in our country. Nothing is ever that black and white.
I think learning something from these debates requires an open mind, a sense of humor, an appreciation for facts, and the premise that I don't know everything. *smile* I think it's also important for me to skip the debates on topics about which I can't be open minded.
Debates are mental floss for me.

The trend may have started before him, but I think Karl Rove had much to do with the "divide and conquer" strategy of the GWB Administration.
"All the talk shows are conservative. "
I don't think these folks would agree with you.
"The only reason the MSM started reporting on any of it was that they had been scooped and were trying to catch up."
Like the Edwards affair....
