MSM Bias

The media is following Obama, not because they are biased, but because he is more interesting. Lets face it, McCain is boring. I haven't noticed anyone complaining that the media has bypassed McCain's flips this past week (16month withdrawal, tax, affirmative action in Arizona, etc). I am 58 years old and I think it is time we hand it over to a new generation. Obama is that generation. Will he make mistakes? I am sure he will! However, it is time for McCain to wrap it up and call it a day in the sun of Arizona. It is time for the WWII and Viet Nam generation to retire. Perhaps a new generation can do a better job!

MSM Bias

Bias in the main news outlets is not new. Pulitzer and Hearst were very, in their own way. What irritates many of us in the hinterlands is the lack of spine the current crop displays. The recent slobbering lovefest shown toward Messiah Obama is really too much to stomach. You ( the collective you ) are, we know you are and you lose any respect when you try to say otherwise. Honesty is the better policy. Maybe your public approval ratings, your believability, would be better served if you simply said, " I just love him too much..." What hypocrits you are .

The 2009 off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23d Congressional District offer a small snapshot of the current views and motivations of the American electorate. While there may be a desire to extrapolate the events of Nov. 3, 2009 into a prediction of what will happen on Nov. 2, 2010, that is impossible.
