Media and the Candidates


Of course there is more research to be done and there is the tiny fact that on the same test that some of you took to see what your polictical description would be I was labeled a Centrist...still, I thought this was an interesting comment by Marvin Payne about the media's part in the election:

The media claims to be impartial. Every now and then, though, some key member of the media goes with their instincts and their cover of impartiality is irrevocably blown. We have just seen the political bias of a single member of the media throwing the current election squarely into the lap of one party over the other. We might as well skip November (except for the turkey end of the month). The television man (woman?) with his (her?) hand on the switch at the Republican convention who (who?) was reckless enough during Sarah Palin's speech to allow a camera to linger on the Governess's little daughter licking her palm and pasting down her baby brother's hair will be held accountable in some heavenly tribunal for ensuring a GOP victory this fall. Enough said.
