| Media's Presidential Bias and Decline |
| 2008-10-27 |
| Apparently not everyone in the MSM is walking around with blinders on... The traditional media are playing a very, very dangerous game -- with their readers, with the Constitution and with their own fates. The media have covered this presidential campaign with a bias and that ultimately could lead to its downfall.The sheer bias in the print and television coverage of this election campaign is not just bewildering, but appalling. And over the last few months I've found myself slowly moving from shaking my head at the obvious one-sided reporting, to actually shouting at the screen of my television and my laptop computer. But worst of all, for the last couple weeks, I've begun -- for the first time in my adult life -- to be embarrassed to admit what I do for a living. A few days ago, when asked by a new acquaintance what I did for a living, I replied that I was "a writer," because I couldn't bring myself to admit to a stranger that I'm a journalist. |

| #9 This was a great, but long overdue article by one of the illuminati media. I wish other people had a conscience like man. Well, in about 6 months I guess none of us will be able to voice an opinion different than the Prince himself. |

| #8 Because the media is feeling their monopoly on information being severely eroded by the internet, blogs, etc... They feel that they can get a government mandated monopoly again by baking someone who will bring back the fairness doctrine, a 'internet czar' who will control internet content (see Google), and a 'civilian defence force' to impose it all. Sign of things to come: The treatment of Joe the Plumber and that station in Florida who actually asked Biden a real question. |

| #7 Because it's natural for them to want a monopoly on information delivery. |

| #6 I just don't understand why the media wants to elect people that will curtail their free speech rights. |

| #5 Besoeker: Actually, they will go from poster child to the only media you will be allowed to listen to - the American version of Pravda. |

| #2 WMT, what we seem to be failing to understand is that most Americans now WANT redistribution of wealth. They have been deluded into believing it will improve their lot in life rather than just pull others down faster than themselves. Or maybe all that really matters to them is to improve their RELATIVE wealth. |

| #1 The media's bias during this campaign seems the final legacy of George W. Bush. Otherwise, you'd see a feeding frenzy over THIS. This video, should go viral. |
