DISQUS

What a bunch of BS. The media could not possibly be more blatant in its preferance for Obama! It has now crossed over into intentional activism for one candidate over another. Media bias? How about just remaining ethical!

Well, the media has been biased and unethical for a long time now, Cory. Expecting our mainstream media to remain ethical is, in my humble opinion, asking way too much. I'd just like to see them report on actual news and limit the commercialism but alas, it is what it is.

The real question, is where is the 3rd party coverage? That's the real bias here, these newspapers spoon feed us McCain - Obama drama but banish the other candidates and political parties from their pages. Then we they say, well the other candidates are not viable so we won't cover them. Well, if they received as much media attention as the mainstreamers they'd be just as viable!

I agree with you Adam, they don't give any credit outside of the "main" candidates. They make you feel like you have 2 options: Obama or McCain. Talk about two crappy options...

Yeah, do I want more of the same or more of the same but disguised as change? Hmmm, tough choice; good thing Diebold just picks the winner for us!

THE FOURTH ESTATE IS STARTING TO RESEMBLE
THE THIRD REICH.
Like Joseph Goebbels, American main stream media has replaced objectivity, integrity, and free choice with one sided reporting, that reflects their bias for Barack Obama. The American Press used to be the last bastion of truth. When special interests got out of hand, the press came to the rescue and exposed them to the public. Now, the press is the special interest with their own agenda.

A bit too extreme but your opening statement does have some truth to it Howad. The media hasn't been fair and unbiased for a while now. Fox News slants clearly to McCain and there's tons of Obama love on many news broadcasts. The point is neither side should use news channels as propaganda machines. News should be about news. All we're seeing now is the puppets of the rich battling so as to distract the proletariats from all the cash seeping out of our country behind the scenes.

Free, non-profit, open-source news is the wave of the future.
