And this is exactly the question we should have been pondering to the exclusion of all others.
This is the salient problem from which all our other troubles emanate. The Media got Bill Clinton Elected. The media caused Richard Nixon to resign, and thereby caused the collapse of American support to the South Vietnamese, which thereby caused the collapse of that nation and the loss of the war.
The Media got Barack Obama elected. They got Al Franken elected. They routinely throw their weight behind the election of Democrats who vote for policies that are destroying us.
Yes, the liberal monopoly of the media is the number one problem facing this nation. They are the enablers of the evil we face, and it's long past time we should have been discussing ways to burn them to the ground.

“I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result.
And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
it includes some freepers....
the people that voted for Perot are to blame for this as well as the people that voted for the stinkin "constitutional" party and got Franken elected...as well as Ventura....and of course how many people including freepers got bammy elected twice....even the second time around we had freepers refusing to throw the charlatan out of office...
sure the media feeds the sheeple crap, but its up to the people whether to eat it or not...and sadly, so many sheeple, and freepers, eat it up with gusto, every single time....every single time...
And this is exactly the question we should have been pondering to the exclusion of all others.
I agree. All issues are secondary to this issue.
