For those who have been around awhile it shouldn't come as a surprise that the main stream media is biased. Yet this year's election is the epitome of the complete and utter breakdown of true journalism. When you have the likes of Chris Matthews and Kieth Olberman, granted are editorialists and not newsmen, and when you have multiple individuals going out of their way to oppress a free and fair, unbiased reporting and discussion of the political environment, candidates and issues, it goes far beyond biased, it is downright corruption. And the venom and vehement in which the majority of the media and print media haa gone to overtly and without apology only shows how deeply embedded they are in the rump of their political messiah. The heads are buried so deeply that the smell of something fishy just doesn't register.
The power of the people no longer has any impact in any main stream media because they no longer care. Ratings go by the wayside and retribution of the general public is not a concern as long as we are days away from the election. So what happens afterward? Do we go back to the usualy routine of watching ABC, CBS, NBC and others who have violated the trust of the American people to be given unbiased news? I suppose that is why the main stream media feels they can go over the top, report with much bias and continue their corruption because when all is said and done, at the end of the day, people will return to watching and reading those who had not problem stabbing America in the back by calling the election and declaring their winner.
How short our memories are and how forgiving we are as a whole to not condone their action. And yet the next election the main street media will take even more liberties. Is that what we want? What needs to happen is to stop watching. An active boycott that will hit not only the ratings but the pocketbook.
