One thing not mentioned is the late night comics like Leno and Letterman. They have a hand in creating negative images of Bush, McCain, Palin,,,etc., by the biased jokes they tell.
Very good point. Other than tuning in a few times this year to see just how obnoxious they are I haven't watched them for years because of that.
Come to think of it, it is something of a wonder that there are pubbies in Congress at all.
Great point! This is important. It was so out of hand and over the top this time. Such a violation. Once again reminding me that the new GOP themselves must have pit bull element. One that can fight in both a direct and a holistic way (positive press etc, positive selling of ideals of the candidates that fit the party and why this is important) this sort of unfairness and attacks on the soul of the candidates as the liberal media did at every turn to President Bush and to Sarah Palin.
President Bush though needed a pit bull who confronted this in his office. The GOP should have their own office too, but once one is in office it is clearly critical that Republican candidates going forward must stop this, counteract this, or minimize it within and we can support as best we can from without.
These partisan attacks unfortunately will also get worse. If one can imagine there is any area to get worse in.
Beyond the bias of Leno and Letterman, most college students get their political info from Jon Stewart (Lebovitz) and Stephen Colbert, and they think that they are informed. They have no idea that they are hearing one-sided arguments. These college students are our future voters. Scary!!
