Media Bias. The biggest story of this election.
Media malpractice is a perfect term for what happened. In fact that malpractice was in full force all through the primaries as well and helped push John McCain on us. Unfortunately media malpractice appears to be a time honored tradition with the media.
While looking up information on Michigan’s first senator I found a correspondence between John Norvell and Thomas Jefferson. Noevell wanted to become a newspaper publisher and asked Jefferson for advice. Jefferson was less than encouraging to say the least.
Jefferson suggested a paper comprised of 4 chapters. The first being a very short chapter of truth, the second would contain probabilities, the third would contain possibilities, and the fourth would contain nothing but outright lies. (he suggested that the 4th chapter would be the most popular)
It’s an interesting read.

I heard a poll result yesterday that less than half of Americans know we have 3 branches of government. It is pretty sad the fate of nation is in the hands of these people..
The two people in my neighborhood who had obama signs in their yard have since taken them down. I will not let them forget though. Idiots.
