Thread: Who will you vote for? UPDATED

The biased media spin. That's another problem in itself. Any reporter working for a major news network that calls themselves a real journalist in this day and age is a lying sack of sh:t. It's more entertainment now, than news. All networks have their agendas, and they propagandize and control too many of the options and over how people think. So much so, that even rational intelligent people can fall prey to it if they sit in front of that box one too many times. We are creatures of habit, after all. You start to see it again and again and again, and suddenly you find yourself actually starting to believe the shit they spin.

Example: They blackout Ron Paul a few months before super tuesday despite the growing strength of his campaign, and all of sudden the average joe has never heard of him or thinks he's no longer a viable candidate come election time. Yet, the media gives the illusion of support to the clearly fringe and unelectable candidate Huckabee (with the least support and money raised) in order to create the illusion of fairness and showing that small guys still having a shot. Just imagine if they'd actually given Ron Paul the same coverage they gave Huckabee. He might've been neck and neck with McCain right about now. But, allowing that would be too dangerous. We can't have another questioning JFK-type in office. Meh. At least he got his message out to a few people and stopped a few other candidates campaigns dead in the water along the way.

Oh well, I suppose when you have that much power and control it'd be retarded not to use it to protect yourself from losing it, so hats off to them. Touché.
