Just In My Head
This may be the most important Presidential election many of us will ever witness, take part in, or otherwise experience. So much is at stake; for us and for future generations. You wouldn’t know it if you were watching closely. Mainstream media outlets have conspired (for what reason I am not sure) to manipulate the coverage of the campaigns, in what appears to be John McCain’s favor.
Coverage of McCain’s top economic advisor Phil Gramm’s “…mental recession,” and “we’ve sort of become a nation of whiners,” comments have been mostly ignored by news outlets, lightly discussed amongst the political punditry and will be forgotten in just a matter of time. If the media were doing its job it would discover similar statements of this conservative ideology. McCain himself said that many of the problems Americans are facing today, “…including losing one’s own home,” are psychological.

We’ll see what the Sunday talk shows think of this. As you watch, think of Obama and think of ‘Bittergate,’ think of ‘Naftagate,’ think of the good Reverend Wright spectacle. Will they continue to make the bias so obvious?

As my husband loves to say (and depressing as it is) think about who controls the media? Corporations that's who. Which political party favors corporations? I mean, how can someone who is not even American (Rupert Murdoch) control so much in media and print? And have the most biased news station in America. It is truly disgusting and yes the bias will continue until we make our collective voices heard over and over again.
