Since the beginning of the 2008 Presidential race, it seems the media is     increasingly biased to the Left. The press has chosen a side, and in so doing,have swayed the public. They are pulling Barack Obama in a chariot made of gold, adorned with adulation, praise, and blind faith. The "Obamachine," has become a fine tuned, well-oiled propaganda machine, with most major networks acting as   the  engine block, and the majority of newspapers, the pistons, using the web for fuel.

How will the public make an informed decision for their choice on Tuesday?  When the media refuses to ask unbiased questions, of both sides, Americans’ are left with an incomplete picture. When you purchase a new or used vehicle, do you take that car for a test drive, ask questions about performance, maintenance, safety, price, tax, tag and title? If the dealer refuses to answer those questions, do you purchase the car on his assurance that you are receiving a great car, at a great price? Liberals in this country would not purchase that car any sooner than Conservatives. If mainstream media allows a candidate courtesies they wouldn’t extend to a car dealer, they give the impression that to them, the United States of America and her people are not important, only their own views and agenda.

 
         
 
Journalists using their profession as a vehicle for their own ideals, are woefully failing the American public. They are paid to inform their viewers of the news, and current events, in a neutral venue, not spin media magic for their own benefit. News outlets that refuse to give both sides of a story, have left the public with a biased opinion, not facts, crippling the viewer’s ability to inform themselves of a candidate’s platform.  Fox News Election HQ co-host Megyn Kelly, in an interview with Obama Spokesman, Bill Burton, states that bipartisan polls show the coverage from other networks has been biased.
 
"the Center for Media and Public Affairs found that since the conventions, the coverage has been 65 percent positive on the network news channels for Barack Obama. Guess how much they have been positive for John McCain in the network news, 36 percent."   (1)
 
When you see ads, newspapers, or television news, keep in mind that the stories are driven by people and are subject to those personal views, ideals, and agendas. If you think something sounds fishy, check it out, arming yourself with unbiased information on both candidates is the best way to make an educated choice. Allowing the far left media to make your decision, could be a very costly mistake.
