It's good to get other perspectives, yes, but too many seem to take the media's word as the final word.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825519767379367699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985039856976573232.post-58478443295853371842008-11-16T14:58:00.000-05:002008-11-16T14:58:00.000-05:00Much of the presidential media coverage was just t...Much of the presidential media coverage was just talking heads with little substance to it, I thought.CSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828794378333470449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985039856976573232.post-1696210387485830352008-11-16T14:50:00.000-05:002008-11-16T14:50:00.000-05:00I understand about being skeptical.

I think the main point I wanted to get across is that two independent sources identified major bias in the reporting of news and that the closest one to being "balanced" was the ire of liberals, Fox News. I don't think it was really focusing on the effects of what was reported, only that it existed. I didn't even touch on how I think overall Americans rely too heavily on the media to form their opinions.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825519767379367699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985039856976573232.post-44056020620479492872008-11-16T12:55:00.000-05:002008-11-16T12:55:00.000-05:00I'm very skeptical when I read about studies such ...I'm very skeptical when I read about studies such as this because what determines negative coverage. And does all negative coverage have the same effect. Example, does Obama associating with terrorists have the same affect as say Palin's 150,000 wardrobe. Does the criteria change for "negative coverage" when it is fact v. speculation?detroittitanswbbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150403979648747519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985039856976573232.post-73965123629250466162008-11-03T17:56:00.000-05:002008-11-03T17:56:00.000-05:00I like your points about poverty.

Even if you can't do it all, you can keep working instead of blaming the government and waiting for a handout.
