Poll Paralysis
It has now been a month since the Washington Post and ABC news did a poll of public opinion at the year's end, but the neither the paper or the network has reported on the some of the poll's most striking findings. The poll reveals strong public optimism about Americans' personal lives and the country as a whole.

The survey showed 71 percent of respondents optimistic about America's ability to defend itself against terror attacks, 64 percent optimistic about the economy and 61 percent about how things are going in the U.S.

But none of that was mentioned in four stories referencing the poll in the Post — and two reports on ABC. Instead, those stories focused on overall pessimism about Iraq and the president's policies
Still want to tell me that there is no Bias at
ABC?

There will be people that will tell you there is no media bias even though 90% of reporters and news-people voted democrat.

They will also deny that Hollywood is left wing most intelligent people know how to sift thru the BS.
The only bad thing with our public education system is there are more and more people unable to do critical thinking this opens the door for the media to manipulate their opinions more and more.

There is bias in the media but it is a Bush bias if anything. What you fail to mention is the polls were referring to the fact that the republicans have lost control of the house and the senate which made people optimistic about the future and that the democrats will be correcting the current administrations stumbling, bumbling incompetence. Which is why the right wing media will not cover the story.

There is no such thing as a Unbias media...
The whole point of the media is to inform...
The media is doing nothing but swaying public opinion...
Wether it be RELIGION... WHAT WE EAT, WHAT WE BUY, WHAT WE SELL, ELECTIONS, THE WAY WE TALK, THE WAY WE WALK, WHAT WE WEAR, WHAT WE DONT WEAR, ----- WHAT WE THINK ----

WHO RUNS THE MEDIA? YOU MIGHT THINK THE U.S. GOVERNMENT... BUT WHO RUNS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT?
