How much of this is the media?

We watched while the media loved the idea of the first black president and except for Fox seemed thrilled to be a part of history making. Then the moment he got in they immediately turned and started criticizing everything he did more and more until they said for the past year how we were going to get pounded on in this election.

They have the voice and they use it to swing things the way they want to make their larger than life reality tv come true. They purposely put pundants on that up the noise on both sides, adding colorful people and loud voices.

I think this is what Jon Stewart was trying to talk about but nothing is going to change while the media stays the way it is.

1. Id say the current state of our political system is over 50% MSM at fault

They shove the tea party and Palin down our throats, and that is a deliberate ploy to foster dissatisfaction with voters.

2. They're the one who are insisting that the Republicans have returned to power.

Have you seen a single feature story about the Dems holding onto the Senate as well as the white house? I thought two out of three wasn't bad.

3. They, the media, are just a

tad overconfident. They are overconfident that we won't notice your point. That and the way they were completely in the tank for the GOP/Baggers. I guess millions of Americans don't realize what a load of horseshit they are being fed.

4. A comparison needs to be made between Obama and Bush with media responses.

And call the MSM out on it.

5. Almost all of it

when the revolution starts, blowing up all of cable "news" and and destroying every last hate radio host will accomplish most of the realignment that we need.
