You seem to be one of those who actually believe the lamestream media can actually put the candidate of their choice in the WH. If this is true then why was Bush twice elected? How about Reagan? What about the libs losing the Congress in 1994 and for 12 years after? Why, if Clinton had a 65% approval rating did Gore lose to Bush. Why is the MSM losing money hand over fist if so many people pay attention to them? Why is McCain tied or ahead in virtually every legitimate head to head poll with either Clinton or Hussein? This despite the pass given Hussein Obama on all his gaffs and outrageous statements made over the past year +?

Why is that?

There have been occasions in the past where Democrats have been caught saying that the media was worth fifteen points to them every election. They did nothing but report negatives and scandals and gloom and doom and question the motives and intelligence of Reagan and the first Bush. They put a virtual headlock on the 1992 election. No one was told that Perot was a stalking horse for Clinton. Newsweek had an artist draw a portrait of Clinton being sworn in as president and they ran it in the spring. I was a subscriber then.

Thankfully, the media is losing power, but when broadcasting and writing for those with underdeveloped or unread political views, they still count for a lot. The liberal media is still the most influential power in American politics. Just look at the last election in 2006.
