The revolution wasn't televised, it was texted.
Politics has changed. When I'm in Starbucks and see a gaggle of 15 yr old girls intently and knowledgeably discussing the differences between McCain, Palin, and Obama, the world has certainly changed from 2 yrs ago. They will stay involved with the real decisions that effect them, ask tough questions, and not be content with shallowness of ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

Is Cindy McCain next?
Speaking of sleaze that's being talked about in the undernews, but hasn't been picked up by the MSM, or even by Kaus, what about the internet gossip that Cindy McCain had an affair with a Maryland divorce lawyer just before John McCain began his presidential run? And what about John's Vicki Iseman thing? Doesn't anyone have pictures? It would ...

They were fought and won minority rights, they championed human dignity and freedom of expression in dark corners of the world, and they preached non-violence. Yet so fixated have they become with damning the presidency of George W Bush that ...

Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan
Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright
I have to say, this isn't just FOX news. The green day song ''American Idiot..one nation controlled by the media'' comes to mind. I'm getting really sick and tired of ISMS ruling our country and our lives instead of ideas and thoughts and common sense. Fanatacism, politicism, racism, conservatism, liberalism, ageism(sp?),fundamentalism, ...

You Missed One Thing...
I understand what you're saying, but you're looking at things in the wrong order. The whole of media seems to suggest that they cover what people want without ever taking into account how much power the media themselves have over establishing what exactly people like. By covering it as a horse race and talking about who's ahead, you're going far ...
