I think we are all living in a world where the media keeps things in a state of confusion. Whatever will get them ratings is what they "report".
And it makes understanding what is really going on hard to do.
I watched MSNBC and it's just a complete joke. The "reporters" sat there during the Republican convention and never "reported" anything. Chris Matthews (who USED to actually be pretty good on "HardBall") just sat there smirking and saying that everything that any Republican said was a lie.
And conversely...everything that Democrats say is good and pure!
I think anybody with intelligence knows that the truth is really in the middle. But MSNBC is just a total propaganda-fest.
They make no bones about who they want to win and they go out of their way to try and make it happen.
Hell, I never thought I'd say this...because CNN has always had a liberal slant (and still does). But CNN had the most fair coverage of any news during the Republican Convention.
I would switch to Fox and they would be drooling and grinning from ear to ear about every word that every Republican said.
Then over to MSNBC and they were doing the extreme opposite.
CNN seemed to be the only ones covering it and actually letting the speeches play and then making what sounded to be a fairly unbiased analysis (except for the guests who were identified as being biased like James Carville for instance)
