   I disagree - the 'liberal media' I've purveyed told me Spitzer was a
   Democrat - then again, perhaps Dems are smart enough to realize how
   polarized the country has become and are smart enough, thus, to
   logically deduce that no Republican actually endorces a Democrat for
   President anymore.


   I quote Fox News, because as you obviously point out, they present the
   Neo-Con vewpoint - the idea that their reporting is 'Fair and
   Balanced' is a blatant lie.  Are you still guessing how and why a
   Farce-News anchor was tapped to be Bush's Mouthpiece to the rest of
   the press?  You don't get to wear the 'Fair and Balanced' medal on
   your lapel when a deeply-polar political party blatantly and overtly
   shows you favoritism to the whole world like that.


   Be careful when you rant about whether or not someone goes to the
   'right' Church or not....you're forgetting that the Pilgrims came here
   just to get-away from that crap back in England.  Tell me - when they
   come after YOUR church, where will you be moving to?  A bunker in the
   Dakota hills?  Please take Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh with you....I
   hear their Churches allow drunks and pill-poppers to attend.  You
   "free-thinkers" can have a heck of a party....

Hi Michael,
    It *appears* you are not against the obvious bias in the media.  You 
acknowledge they comment incessantly about a Republican politican label as 
the media mentions over & over he *is* a Repub while they make a *very* 
determined effort to make sure any mention of the word "Democrat" is
avoided 
when discussing a Dem who is found to have his hand in the cookie jar.

I cannot believe you are not an advocate for a free and unbiased media. 
Your reference to Fox News must be made because they tell the Republican 
side rather than ignoring it, I assume?

Personally I think *all* politicans have questionable character - I'd like 
to see the media go after all parties equally - after all that's their job.

They need to dig into their backgrounds and learn how they  feel about *all* 
the topics that are important to Americans.  I'm not saying to look at
their 
background to find dirt - that'll come out but it should not be the primary

objectve, but we as voters need to hear all about our choices at the ballot 
box.  For instance, Obama's pastor has a sermon much like that of Louis 
Farrakhan and some of the things his pastor has said in a speech I heard 
were even *more* extreme than that of Farrakhan!  Which says a lot.  Obama 
dismisses any questions about his church as being irrelevant - yet if he has 
been listening to what amounts to hate speech every week for 20 years it 
must not be irrelevant to obama!  Also, Obama has given his church 10's of 
thousands of dollars.  That's the kind of stuff that should be looked at - 
at *least* looked at.   If the situation were reversed and a Republican went 
to a KKK meeting on a weekly basis I'm sure he'd be skewered by all 
involved - and rightfully so.

I'm not saying Obama needs the same treatment but the MS media should 
investigate it - perhaps he deserves it, perhaps not.

If the media doesn;t keep us informed we're just picking a name when
voting. 
It's sad we have to depend on the MSM but that's the way it is.  I
doubt 
there's anyone that knows all  the candidates well enough personally to
make 
a decision *without* the media.

Have a nice weekend -
