Chewy72 said:I used to watch all these shows back in the 90's, but now they are so one sided I can't watch them anymore. Sure the shows always tilted one way, as Chris Matthews leaned to the left, O'Reilly to the right, but now the shows are just propaganda for each candidate.
Turn on Fox and they are burying Obama, turn on MSNBC and they are burying McCain, and these are now made just to preach to the choir. The audience for these shows are people who have already made up their mind on treply with quoteheir vote and just want to hear things from 'their' point of view.
In the old days, there would be good debate on these shows, there would be objective analysis on both sides, now it comes down to if you are voting for McCain, turn on Fox. If you are voting for Obama, turn on MSNBC.
I can't wait til this shit is over, because myself being an independent who doesn't drink the kool-aid for either side, I can hopefully start having a debate with friends instead of hearing their bull shit talking points, because neither side wants to say anything bad about their candidate. No matter who wins tonight, can I just ask the partisans on both sides to be civil and actually look at things objectively instead of drinking the kool aid from your party so we can solve the problems of this country.
This is why I won't watch 24 hour news channels. I really only watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report and they will damn well admit they are biased and I love the correspondents sharp wit.
