NO that is Americas #1 one best kept secret and propaganda. If you need proof all you have to do is watch the news. Every night, who's agenda is on the news? = republican agenda... Israeli war, immigration, gay marriage... etc..

This is not our agenda. Ppl claim the democratic party has no agenda because the right controls the media so you never hear it. Our agenda is healthcare, stopping outsourcing, bringing jobs back to the working class, saving medicare, saving social security, and finding a solution to Iraq.

Lame duck has a technical term but most ppl in Washington refer to a lame duck president as someone who can not get his policies pushed through congress or even to the floor.

Hello, Lame Duck refers to the time after the election and before the new President takes office!

It is hard to argue that they are not. Of course truth is in the eye of the beholder and we seem to lost our ability to be persuaded by reason. While many believe that we are torn because of the Iraq war, I think it goes back much farther than that. When Reagan was president, the media pretty much viewed him as an evil dunce. The news stories were seldom flattering. Of course the Clintons took partisanship to a new level and that has continued through the Bush years. The Republicans are also very adept at the partisanship game. Both parties work their base by feeding them red meat. The Democrat base gets a steady diet of the evil Republican plans to cut taxes for the rich while screwing poor people and the Republican base gets a contant stream of gay marriage and flag desecration stories. Most people would be shocked to find that much of what goes on is just an elaborate political game designed to bring on campaign dollars. Most politicans lack any real beliefs and principles. The media only serves as a pawn in this game.

The media has never been liberal. When the majority of the public was behind Bush to start the Iraq war, then the media was tending to be conservative (dare I say, Neocon). Now that Bush has a ~30% approval rating, they feel comforatable enough to ask harder questions just as the public is doing. That doesn't make them liberal--just centrist. The media never strays far from the money.

Apparently You don't watch the news...

They spin in whatever direction they feel.

Fox does it.
CNN does it.
ABC does it.
NPR does it.

Just listen closer...

The REAL problem is that all views are playing Conservatives and Liberals against each other.

If we are fighting each other... we cannot see the truth.

All politicians lie.

All parties have an agenda.

Liberals say Bush doesn't care about Black people and yet Dem's aren't really helping them either by their socialist policies which have set them back more than before the civil rights movement by making them think they are oppressed.

Conservatives think they should police everyones rights and control how we live our lives which takes away our freedoms that they promise to protect.

Independents are getting out of control too with their conspiracy theories scaring people by comparing Bush to Hitler. It doesn't represent their anti police state agenda properly. It actually hurts their movement.

The Media is responsible for confusing us even more.

Just listen to all and evaluate for yourself.

Hey, I don't like Bush, but you have to be blind not to see it. NBC, CBS, CNN---they all have a definite and obvious bias. It is well documented. Stories that make conservatives look bad appear as front page news, while more important news goes unheard. A recent example: Around the time Mel Gibson made his comments, Hugo Chavez was saying similar antisemetic remarks. Chavez is more important in the world that Gibson. Yet, admitting that a leader of the socialist movement is publiclly antisemitic might hurt, so it was relegated to relative obscurity.

Oh, and they aren't going to come out directly and publiclly call the president name. That would expose them.

Good question. Probably because it's a lie that the media is entirely liberal. All I can say is this: FOX news. Not exactly liberal.

Dr. Head: Nixon was Republican.

Because that would be a true statement and, as we know, those are pretty much unheard of in the "liberal" media.

PS You left yourself WIDE OPEN for that one... :-)
