@Elinor,




I guess it would be better than the media tanking for one candidate over another. People scream about Fox, and yes they are wrong, but why no screaming about the media shilling hard for their favored candidate? Politico admitted on camera the other day that they intentionally eliminated Ron Paul from their stories because they think he has no chance, even though he came in second to Bachmann by only 9/10s of a vote, meaning he essentially tied her for first place.

Regardless of who you support, having the media take sides is dirty and shameful.

I think that the only way for the media to change is to have us change our viewing habits. I am a raging liberal, yet I refuse to watch MSNBC because of their bias. Even though they are on "my side," I will not support such an obvious slant in journalism. I really think that everyone on both sides of the aisle need to do this. Ratings are really what any TV networks care about. Right now their current tactics are gaining viewers, so we need to make it stop.

Speaking of Ron Paul... here is an article with a link to a Jon Stewart commentary about the issue:

Yes Jon Stewart is a liberal comedian, but more recently he's been calling out any media outlet that is being ridiculous regardless of which side they're on.
