Showing Original Post only (View all)On the media "conspiracy." [View all]
You know, there is this thinking on both RIGHT WING blogs and LEFT WING blogs, that the media is behind candidate A or B. This got me going, (and yes there is bias, but...) If media is so much behind Obama AND Romeny, depends on the blog you read, and it is both Liberal and Conservative... heresy here... at that point I gotta think that perhaps the media is MOSTLY doing it's job. And yes, it is MOSTLY reporting the news.
It cannot be in the bag for both Romney and Obama at the same time. It just can't.
Now the editorial pages, have at it, why they are called EDITORIAL.
And you know what is even funnier. the polls. They were trending Obama, of course it was a polling conspiracy to elect Obama, just read FR. Now that some polls show Romney doing well (too late imo, voting already underway and many folks already voted), well Pollsters can't do polls and are in the tank for Romney.
These are two directly opposing set of "facts." So if there is a media conspiracy, or a polling one, it is the worst kept and done conspiracy ever.
Then again, if Media already knows, another common allegation, who will win... my, does that mean I can go home at 8;01 after the polls close? Hey, that will be a short day... WHOOHOO!!!! I know, going to bed early and not having to worry about the registrar, we already know who won! (Which for the POTUS may very well be the case when my polls close, for the record)
Just putting it out there, because we live in a strange age to be honest. When it goes our way, woohoo, when it does not, obviously they are (whoever they are) in the tank for the other side, and drunk the punch. For the record, media people do not have the luxury of such thinking.
