The broadcast media are very ratings-driven. They must have evidence that viewers want to hear this stuff.

The media does not care what we think and it is not poll driven. The media is only interested in influencing the voters to vote their world view. In this regard they will lied, misrepresent, and distort to present their case for you to consider under the guise of reporting the news. The mainstream news media presents only the liberal view. Don't believe anything that you read or see on TV until you have check it out on the internet, google, blogs, talk radio and newspaper and TV. You will find another word for liberal is liar! Of course, they will accuse the opponents of lying. No inteligent person that wants to know the truth in news is a liberal!!
