Pew: Public Perception of Media Bias Hits Historic High

The bulk of the media tends to swing far more to the left than the right, but that isn't the worst problem we face when we consider that too many Americans get most of their news and information, especially regarding the candidtates, from watching the more entertaining shows that bring pundits to the fore, most of whom seem to support the general side of the network heads. The only network that seems to bring articulate and successfully argumentative members of the other party into the conversation is Fox, the only network that seems unafraid of confronting anyone on the other side no matter how well-versed they happen to be.

One set of networks obviously leaves out a lot of important news, or breezes by anything that might look bad for Obama as though it has little or no meaning at all. You hear very little about the investigations now occurring regarding the attacks in Libya, where four Americans were murdered by well-armed affiliates of Al Qaeda, when our president and his entire administration has been found to have lied to our people...blatantly and deliberately, obviously covering for what really lies beneath the fluff and cotton candy words of support for our military and other Americans placed in harm's way. There are so many other lies, mostly about Romney, that have been told, but this other entire part of what should be current news has been smoothed over by those liberal pundits, the hosts and no doubt the heads of those extremely liberal shows where too many people get their information.

This is dangerous, at least to my way of thinking, in that our entire country depends upon the support of the people who will place candidates in office. If they are uninformed and easily led by clever tactics, what will happen to the greatest nation on the planet? If the bulk of our media works for one side to the degree that we now see, how can we ever trust what we hear? How can those of us who know what is really going on convince our countrymen to turn to more balanced reporting, when the sheer act of revealing the lies of the other side might, to them, appear as though both sides are doing it to the same degree? There is only one truth on various issues, so those who say something else must be involved in some form of prevarication. Who do you believe when you are unable to know the truth? Do you believe Chris Matthews and his pundits....or would you rather believe those our nation has placed in harm's way? You have to have some foundation based in truth in order to know who is lying, and because I pay very close attention when I can, I will always suggest the Fox Network for those who've been tricked by the left for far too long, but who actually do want to know what is really going on. Once they look around, most should agree that hearing all of the news, not part of it, is best because networks doing the eliminating of crucial events must have a more diabolical reason for doing so.
