"The Media is so hell-bent on making sure we vote Obama, they'll pull out any trick in the book. It's a pretty sad commentary on the state of politics and the media."

Yeah, I agree that most of what we see in the media seems to favor Obama, but don't you think that could just be a sign that most people in this country feel the same? Do you think that most Americans are so persuadable that whomever the media tells them to vote for really has a better chance winning? I watch Fox News a lot and I constantly hear people on that network complaining about "media bias" and I just can't understand why nobody wants to admit that THEY ARE PART OF THE MEDIA?!?!?! (I'm sorry - this complaint is for everyone in the media - not just Fox News... and this is really a separate discussion.) The point I'm trying to make is that I constantly hear about "media bias" and I'm really starting to think that if Obama wins this election in November, these same people are actually going to complain that the public was swayed by "the media" - and completely ignore the concept that Americans may just be in favor of Obama on their own (or just may be fed up with how Republicans have been running this country for the last eight years and don't want to risk having the next four be exactly the same).

Personally, I think most Americans who are voting are smart enough to make their own decisions. Also, keep in mind that most Americans hate to see the media bashing someone unfairly, so if their is a media bias, that could very well be a positive for Republicans.

On a separate note, I just wish we could get someone in there who isn't a member of either party. A two-party system just doesn't seem fair to me, which is why I could never be a member of either one.
