Media Bias Part 2
Posted on July 24, 2008 - Filed Under News, President | Leave a Comment
To think that the main stream media is fair in their reporting and viewpoints is to miss the fact that they are human and have the same bias that you and I have about everything. They too have a ‘brotherhood’ that requires gifts as well as adherence to the ‘party line’. So when I read […]

I have been slowly watching all of the press coverage of the two canidates. I was SHOCKED that the vererable New York Times, which at least ‘claims’ to be unbiased showed their true colors and total bias in this campaign. This was a recent headline related to the matter:
Beyond Bias: New York Times Refuses McCain […]
Military Death Watch!

This is for the people who like to keep a countdown of the war dead. Because there are some who are against the war, that have a morbid fascination with this. What I have hated with this counting of our dead is that it is politicized by 1/2 of our country. To put things into […]

“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”

The beginning of March 2008 has begun with mixed results for independents. First Ralph Nader continues our fight for ballot access and is getting a little less abuse from the mainstream media than usual. Then Mayor Bloomberg announced that he was not seeking the White House. That was a setback to those who […]
Obama vs McCain

In an earlier essay I argued that Barack Obama would be a more formidable Democratic candidate for president than Hillary Clinton, because of his demonstrable ability to attract independent voters and because he does not have the high negatives that attach to Senator Clinton. If the polls can be believed, even many […]

After teasing Americans for more than a year, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he would not be pursuing any independent candidacy for the Presidency.
Bloomberg wrote in a New York Timeseditorial : “While I have always said I am not running for president, the race is too important to sit on the sidelines, and […]

“The future lies with those wise political leaders who realize that the great public is interested more in Government than in politics . . . The growing independence of voters, after all, has been proven by the votes in every Presidential election since my childhood—and the tendency, frankly, is on the increase.”

I just finished reading the article. I was impressed with Rep. Rothman’s efforts to reach out to the independents for this primary election. I was one that believe (incorrectly) that the 58% of New Jersey voters were in-eligible to vote next Tuesday.
Based on the content of the article, it appears that all an independent voter […]
Independent Voter Block Could Hold Key to Presidential Race

Independent voters have become a force to reckon with when it comes to the presidential race.
The number of voters who register as “Decline to State” in California has increased 700,000 since 2000, now reaching 3 million. It’s the fastest growing and most unpredictable voting block.
“Independent voters we know, from the New Hampshire primary … are […]
