Ferrari Mailing List: Re: stupidity of the press

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hey Ken,
   I'd like to agree with what Ken said and add a couple of things - Kens 
comment about obamas ability to get elected
have more to do with damaging the opposition rather than producing elloquent 
speechs or compelling rhetoric.

   As to <<we go out and elect a guy who wants it all to change.>>  I give 
the MSM a lot of the credit/blame for the
politicians we end up with.  They give face time to those who are the most 
photogenic and talk time to those who lean the
farthest left/liberal.  A survey has indicated the press is over 95% 
registered democrat and they typically vote over 90%
for the democratic politician -- and they are completely unable to act 
professionally and provide fair coverage to
all parties involved in an election.

   In addition the MSM will crucify a Republican for a wrong-doing and 
ignore a democrat caught doing the same or worse.s

   But my biggest problem with the MSM is their lack of desire to do their 
job - i.e., to inform the American people of the background
of all running for public office.  If they don't it's very hard to find out 
what kind of person we are electing.  They ignored and downplayed
much of obamas background and his questionable business dealings, election 
shenanigans and questionable associates.

   One more thing about us getting the politician we deserve - part of it 
is the MSMs way of *not* doing their job.  The othe r is the way they *do* 
their
job by digging into a politicians background to the point of seemingly 
attempting to destroy a politicians family.  Again, it;s a partisan thing - 
I never knew J Carter had a halfwit brother until he was elected.  But as 
soon as Palin was nominated we heard all kinds of trash about her family - 
things which had nothing to do with her
ability to govern. Also, she was critizied as not having any experience - 
even though she'd been a mayor and govornor - making her infinately more 
qualified
vs obama.  Yet they (the MSM) appeared to not see any conflict in their 
position.

   IMHO, the election process os more controlled by the media that any 
other entity, including the voters.

Sincerely,
