Politics in the Media

Never have I been more aware of an election, and I believe the same can be said for a great deal of people in my age group. However, I am frustrated and tired of having to seek the facts and information on my own. What are reporters and the "American Broadcast Networks" for? Apparently they are merely there for personal commentaries and agendas, not to inform the American public. This is why I feel the need to search for the facts in black and white on my own accord.

I enjoy some commentaries, but only when they are addressed as such, and not hidden behind the veil of "breaking news." Gustav is news. The economy is news. Our military in Iraq is news. A 17 year old girl being pregnant that did not ask to be in the spotlight, is not news. People make mistakes, let those that haven't cast the first stone.

I really enjoyed this COMMENTARY I came upon by Peggy Noonan for the Wall Street Journal, favorite quote

"Dig deep into Sarah Palin, get all you can, talk to everybody, get every vote, every quote, tell us of her career and life, she may be the next vice president. But don't play games. And leave her kid alone, bitch."

It explores both sides, and is an enjoyable read.
