Never witnessed the media as bad as it is today -- there is so little objectivity left that I cannot believe. It may say Freedom of the Press but when the press lies they need to be held accountable.
After this election is complete, we need to make an orchestrated effort to oust some of the worst abusers!
It is incredible; I have yet to hear any of the media mention that Senator Kerry has one of the most left-wing voting records of all time in the Senate.
Not mentioning that very material fact even once in a while is simply unforgiveable. He is treated as if he either has no record, or that it is so moderate that it is not worthy of comment.
Nor do I see any great play on the fact that he is a lawyer by trade; in fact, it only gets four sentences in his biography on his website:
Later, John Kerry accepted another tour of duty - to serve in America's communities. After graduating from Boston College Law School in 1976, John Kerry went to work as a top prosecutor in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. He took on organized crime and put behind bars "one of the state's most notorious gangsters, the number two organized crime figure in New England." He fought for victims' rights and created programs for rape counseling.
You've touched on THE problem. Somewhere along the line, the courts weakened our libel/slander laws to such an extent that the media (in which I include entertainment as well as news) are all but totally immune from accountability before the law.
