Somehow I have managed to make myself sit and watch three Channels at different times so that I can try balance the truth from lies and know who the liars are. I am not an American but I love their Politics. Many people look at the American System as the best Democratic State in the World while this might be true, to me it is far from the perfect system it is made to be. Well, the people only have a voice when it is election year, that is when you get to know who your member of congress is because they are in your hood looking for a vote.
In 2009 I watched Fox News and got to know why America is hated by many. A President might not be perfect but he is still the one in Power and people need to get behind him and constructively criticize him not make him to be a Devil. I have never seen such hatred in my life, not even Mugabe has been demonized the way Obama was characterized on Fox News. How perfect, every guest that was brought in was a Conservative and Fox claims to be fair and balanced, Americans must be blind to believe this.
I am yet to hear anything good about Obama, I know they spend the days looking at what he has done wrong but I fail to see that he has not even one good thing Fox can talk about. I know MSNBC is Pro Obama but they have not made him a God the way he was turned into an evil character by Fox.
I know some claim that the spin stops with their shows but hey, even that is spin too. Keeping leaders accountable is different from making them look evil. My father always told me that greatness is achieved when you can promote the good in your enemy an guard against the bad. It is a sign of weakness to demonize a person and have nothing good to say about them. In an age when respect has gone out of the window, the only thing that is separating us from animals as the human kind is our ability to speak
It is a public secret that Fox is a conservative channel, good, great for them but not all America is conservative. I do not believe that with a population like Americas population you can govern from just one end and afford to get it right. As a leader of such a diverse and different nation, the President must be a a chameleon, change with the situation. There is a time to be liberal and a time to be conservative, there is a time to be moderate and a time to be a hardliner. To call on the President to be just one thing is really being untrue to the diversity of the nation.
In 20101 its time for the people to think for themselves and not feed into this media spin that has become the best way to push political tactics. It should tell you something when the only known analysts on a channel served in one Administration or ran from one Administration and say they were fed up of the party and decided to become independent. You cannot have 50 conservative analysts and 3 liberal analysts and call yourself balanced. You cannot have 10 anchors who are conservatives and one that is liberal and call yourself fair. Wake up people, make sure you work the facts yourself before you are sold a bunch of rubbish as the truth.
The Media is in business for the ratings ad money, mind what they feed you to stay on top.
