The media is about ratings. Obama's trip obviously will draw huge ratings, therefore they're making a big deal of it. He's a rock star. McCain isn't. And rock stars get the coverage.
I don't approve of this form of journalism, but the bottom line here is their bottom line. | |

| So you feel the 3 major networks are doing some poor journalism and if anybody is behaving more appropriately, it is Fox News? | |

In practice, any system can get completely screwed up by human nature (greed, sloth, etc.) and needs to be kept in check. I think capitalism is the best, but of course it's not perfect.
I'm sure you and others see me as the second coming of Karl Marx, but in fact I work in perhaps one of the most capitalistic industries that exist. I guess I'm just not threatened by the word "government" like many on here seem to be. | |

I look and see on this site repeatedly "news stories" that are taken from Fox and which are obviously written to embarass or criticize the Democrat they are based on. They routinely overstate or quote out of context, and its all to advance a conservative agenda.
You may think there is a subtle liberal media bias in the other networks, but Fox is just blatant about it.
Fair and balanced? What a joke! | Quote:

Could have saved about 24 pages.  | |
