You have some good assessments of the candidates. One thing is for certain, BO can't run on any accomplishments so their focus will be COMPLETELY DESTROYING whomever the opponent is. They've got 95% of all televised media in their corner. Look what they have done by just not reporting on stories. Have they even done a story on Jon Corzine and the 1.2 billion of clients money that is missing and the fact that BO and Biden sang his praises up one side and down the other? Where's the government's regulations on under reporting and lying media? Since they want to regulate everything else.

You’re right. It’s sickening how the the media has long abused both their power and the trust that the average American somehow still places in them. And they are hardly ever held accountable. The world needs to wake up and realize that the press can be as powerful as any branch of government....and just as corrupt.

Here in the US they have all but declared a propaganda war on half its citizens and we desperately need leaders who are willing to fight back. President Bush kept trying to win them over with kindness but that never worked. As with all bullies, it only emboldened them. The only way to get them to back off is to stand up to them. Gingrich has been one of the few to do just that. Others need to follow his lead.

Put them on the defensive. Break down the trust between the public and the press. Make them have to earn it back again by going equally hard after both sides.

Easier said than done. But playing nice hasn’t worked. It’s time we played hardball.
