The Balanced Media



OK, so congrats to Barack Obama on his inauguration. Although I may not have voted for him, I believe in supporting the Office of the President of the United States. So, as John McCain has said, "He is my president."

That being said, I am wondering when the honeymoon is going to end with the media. There is no doubt that they have crowned him King of Perfection. I just wish they would stop denying and come and say, "Hey we are left-wing and we worship Barack."

Back in they day, the media was admittedly biased. You had your Republican newspapers and your Democrat newspapers (you also had your socialist, communist, independent, etc.). Why don't we just go back to that? The Republicans have Fox News and the Democrats have everyone else. Instead of complaining about the "liberal media", why not go back to the days of a balanced media? Rather than being upset at our local papers that lean leftward, just start a conservative paper! Rather than blog your complaints about a liberal media, start balancing it out.

I don't want to bash just the lazy Republicans. To the people at Fox News, stop portraying your self as "Fair and Balanced." You obviously have a right-leaning slant. Admit it and move on.

Kind of on the subject, I heard that Barack Obama's approval rating is at 70%. How? He hasn't been in office for 24 hours yet! Why would is Left-worshipping media reporting that? Why even take the pole in the first place?

All this to say: I think America would be better off with a balanced media - equal bias.
