To: one happy family of man

Imagine getting re-elected with the most total of votes ever in a USA election, and actually thinking the American people support your positions.

Too bad there isn't a single person on the other side with any intelligence, then they wouldn't send fools like this one.

The people of America supported George W. Bush over ALL of the "other guys" combined.

The Mainstream Media opposed Bush and continues to.

I wish the voters would wake up to this and understand that new reports come with bias.

I don't want to have another "Walter Cronkite - Most Trusted Man In America" type reporter. ALL reporters should be trustworthy, their job is to report the news, nothing else.

It's like saying, the most trusted mathmatician in the world. Unless they are prone to errors, they should all be interchangeable and their facts should hold up to scrutiny.

Some may say that they want "trusted" politicians. Politicians (like any lawyer) serve a client (party) and as such have an agenda by the very nature of the job. That includes making the best case for their position. That is the only way to WIN a debate.

Activist journalism blurs the line and tries to accomplish the job of politicians. Just because the state does not run the media in America does not mean that we are free from despotism of propaganda broadcasts and reports (from one party viewpoint).
