Psshh.. Most college grads I know are idiots when it comes to some matters not related to their degree. Not everyone gets a degree in political science. I wasn't calling you ignorant buddy, just anyone who believes Obama got elected striclty based on biased media coverage alone.

All the first part of the video shows is that the Obama supporters that were interviewed knew about the dirt that the media threw at Palin, but did not know their own Democratic Senate or House leaders. They also knew very little of the dirt on Obama and Biden, because NBC and CNN didn't cover it much if at all. I'm not surprised at all from any of it. You only need to be 18 to vote. You don't have to be a taxpayer, don't have to know what your candidates issues or backgrounds are, or even have a conscious mind.

By the way, Bill Ayres book is out now that the election is over. In his book, he affirms his Marxist and Communistic beliefs, and affirms strong family friendships with the Obama family...which Barack denied to win the election.

Wanting to learn and and being smart enough to expose yourself to fair and unbiased news sources are two different things. Neither require a college education.

Did you read the article about media bias?

Its not the publics job to fact check the media. They should be doing it themselves. Of course looking at fair sources is important, but who decides whats fair. The media should report the facts and let the public decide.

So the media is to blame for electing Obama. Not McCain's terribly ran campaign (compared to Obama's). Not the public's dissatisfaction with the last eight years of republican led failure. Nor was it the audacious thinking of the overwhelming majority that, you know what lets try something different. Nope, it's the biased leftwing media's fault. Thats why I only watch fox news...Dude get over it. If you can't, then move to canada or mexico.

Oh geezus....

In 2000 I was telling the Democrats to STFU when it came to the Florida vote - and it looks like I'll have to do the same to the Republicans.

Get over it. The votes have been counted. Points fingers all you like but it isn't going to change a thing other than you're all a bunch of whiners (this almost verbatim to the Democrats).

Give it a rest. Get a life! MOVE THE FU<K ON, FOR CHRISSAKE!!!!

How come peeps can't let crap go? lol
