I have self deleted about five of my posts. Between the biased media and trolls I am becoming apoplectic.

And there just seems to be no end in sight. I hate to be negative but its reality. For some reason, they hate us, they Hate our President. It's a dam shame. I'm no longer watching the networks, it's to painful and it's not all due to a poor debate performance. They were ripping in to him and propping Romney up a week before the debate. Im done with the fucking media in this country.

Unless of course, it's part of an agenda. Get Romney in and then continue the plundering of the middle class until we're all serfs.
By the way, I just wrote Erin Burnett about her #1 story tonight, ie: Biden's comments about embassy security in Lybia. Of course, she slanted it to make Biden look bad, but the real news is the fact that RyanCo. in Congress voted to slash funding for embassy security overseas. That's the scandal. And it should have received broad media attention.
Jeebus.
Looks bleak.

Them, and all 'infotainment' television. Write their sponsors, and tell them why you'll no longer support them.

I did it years ago. You'll feel better- cleaner - for it. I promise.

That's why Rachel is so popular. She doesn't talk down to her audience and she's honest.
So CNN doesn't need to do anything other than hire some journalists. You know, real journalists who are objective and honest.

but i think her style would appeal to those who are not liberals . she is willing to have republicans on and i think others are willing to watch her show since she doesn't instantly turn them off like Ed would do.
