We are a nation of whiners. I don’t care what Barrack Hussein and his media minions say.
It is an affront to treat falsehood with complaisance.

I agree 100%. That's why Capitol Hill would be more appropriately named, The National Landfill.
If moderate/liberal Colin Powell, who had trouble deciding if he was a Democrat or Republican, is Cassell’s choice for president, then he’s 180 degrees from me.
McCain has thrown so many under his bus that he will soon start throwing the Democrats under it. That is his secret plan to win.
He’s half right, except no candidate running this time around was or is worthy of th office. It’s not just the media’s fault, you can blame the waashington elitees running our parties. They wallow in mediocrity and force the rest of us to share in it.
When are “we” going to fight back?
Wrong.
When is John McCain going to fight back?
When is John McCain going to stand up for the Conservatives who have swallowed their pride and their principles in order to support him?
I think there is a difference between whining and just being pissed off. I won’t whine, but I’m voting.
While I agree that the media drives a lot of crap and that McCain should have stood up to them, I have to give a big PUKE for having Colin Powell, socialist extraordinare, as a presidential candidate. He is just about as far left as McCain is, maybe more so. Lots of people we could have had but I don't want Colin Powell for candidate, thanks anyway.
What is the "we" business? Juan McCain is CEO, Admiral, head honcho, and head monarch of his campaign. Juan AIN'T taking orders from anyone. Gramm left because Juan wanted that way. In fact, on Gramm's way out the door, Juan was heard to bellow, "Advisors, advisors, I don't need no stinkin' advisors."
Still, the media do sway public opinion and many a president has been elected with heavy media support. However, America is still a democracy and the presidency is still in the hands of the people. If they choose to remain uninformed and effectively mesmerized by some unprepared, undistinguished, achievement-free socialist phony like Senator Barack Hussein Obama, it is ultimately their own fault. Unfortunately, if Obama is elected president, we'll all have to live with the sad results of their egregious error.
Too bad John McCain is only a bit less unacceptable to most conservatives. Thanks, GOP. I'm voting for an Independent for president because my state always goes Democrat in the Electoral. My vote won't change that, so why vote for a candidate (McCain) that I don't really like or want and have to wearr an industrial-size clothespin on my nose in order to vote for him? Makes no sense. Cassells' disgust with and animus toward the media is both palpable and justified but we have only ourselves to blame if we allow them to manipulate us. Today, Americans do have alternative media, including this website, and there is simply no reason the 'mainstream' media should wield so much persuasive power in an election.
Frankly, Obama's barely-even poll numbers (with the lackluster McCain) are encouraging as they demonstrate that many would-be voters are unsure and hesitant about Obama, as they certainly should be. That's encouraging. The dinosaur media is steadily losing it's grip on popular opinion and while it hasn't completely dissipated yet, it is weakening. Let's hope that continues...right up to election day and that the endless Obama hype from the media backfires because Americans don't much like being told who to vote for. If they did, we would have never had Presidents Nixon, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush or the current Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush. Think about it.
So is that what they’re whining about.
“Racial hatred sells. You sell racial hatred you get lots of air exposure.”
Indeed.
