The mainstream media is making a very deliberate effort to mold your opinion on the upcoming election by giving unfair air time to the candidates they have chosen. Question is are you awake enough to realize that it is happening? If you just say I'm crazy, then you have just denied what I'm saying without researching my point. Do a little investigation and see for yourself. It is fairly easy to see the attempt of the media to mold your opinion on the upcoming election. Will you let them?

rukidding - You don't have to go to the internet. Just switch channels and see if the mainstream media is giving a greater amount of time to one candidate or another. You'll quickly realize they are doing just that. Why would the media give more time to one candidate or the other? You can answer that one for yourself.

TG - All of the candidates, with exception of Ron Paul, that you just talked about are all members of the CFR. Did you know that?

I despise the lamestream media. Whatever they promote, I will view with a jaundiced eye, but there are not many of us who think independently. Most people are sheep and can be herded to the polls. Carefully packaged candidates who use focus groups are the media favorites. Honest politicians, like
Ron Paul are deliberately ignored. If they are successful, then they are attacked.

I think it's a matter of interpretation. Some people say the fact that the media focuses on some candidates and not others shows that they're trying to push their own agenda. Others argue that the media focuses on the candidates who have already garnered support. I can tell you that if I ran a newspaper I wouldn't waste a lot of space on Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul either.
It's hard to imagine what conspiracy would involve lots of articles about Giuliani, Clinton, Romney, Obama, Thompson and Edwards. How could they be pushing all of them?

the reason it made information b/c it changed into in a community the position desecrating the Qu'ran is a large deal and persons take it very heavily. The soldier changed into an complete fool.......I advise its person-pleasant understanding that Muslims contained in the midsection east carry the Qu'ran as something very sacred and get distressed at the same time as its even by coincidence dropped and this numbnut shoots one? the following we try to make ourselves appear as if the coolest adult adult males and this guy desecrates something holy to the natives. Thats like raping a natives cheifs daughter...its certain to **** the locals off. Ohh and on a sidenote.....if this changed into an exceptionally non secular christian area and someone shot a bible.....it would also make information my buddy! edit- jwthoughts i do not understand what you study yet judging from what you reported you probably did not study the Qu'ran b/c I study it hoping to coach Islam is evil and after analyzing each and every note i realized i changed into incorrect and Islam is a good faith...and that i have been to mosques and center jap international places too

Hmmm...and I suppose the "research" would come from really unreliable websites, blogs and the like. In that case, I'd rather have the mainstream media choose a candidate for me than the underground internet sites any day--even if it ends up being Hillary!

Nope, the main stream media have proven themselves to be a liberal grinding box. They wan't to proliferate BS like Bush lied , people died yet the moron's that recite that phrase haven't done any research to see EXACTLY what Bush said. We talked to Iraq for 4 years +, we had weapons inspectors at least twice whom were kicked out, the world and intelligence communities in every country thought Saddam had WMD's. Even Hilary Clinton herself was on board and listed 6 good reasons to go into the war besides WMD's. You might not like war or Bush, but stop the lying and get down to the facts. The media started manufacturing news and aligning it liberally. So the main stream can go to hell until they start reporting the facts.

I do my own research. I don't like sheep so I'm sure not going to be one. I've already checked the candidates voting records which tells me more of their opinion on subjects than what they say to make people happy now.

Of course I will let the mainstream, and not so mainstream, media influence my choice. I never hear of any ground swell candidates who don't have at least one medium supporting them.

I have noticed and no they will not affect my decision. I watch the debates, watch how the candidates react. I check ontheissues.com and make up my own mind.

It's more like they will affect my decision on who NOT to vote for. Like Hillary and Obama.
