Obama getting elected was a new event. And thanks for your advice about taking an economics class, but I have a Business degree and have taken several. Just because your opinion is different than mine doesn't mean that I am ignorant. Also I have done research on Obama and have looked his stands on different issues. I agree with some of his ideas, but not all. I hope that he helps lessen the racial tension in the U.S. He is finding out that there are a lot more factors that drive the economy than he will be able to control. Also you didn't address my comment about Obama's lack of political experience, you just basically made comments implying that I must not be too smart since I questioned this. What is your justification to say that he is ready to lead the country based on his background and experience? I respect other people's opinion even if I don't agree. I questioned the ability of McCain to lead after he picked Palin for his VP. That didn' reflect good judgement to say the least. bill:

On Fox News, in contrast, coverage of Obama was more negative than the norm (40% of stories vs. 29% overall) and less positive (25% of stories vs. 36% generally). For McCain, the news channel was somewhat more positive (22% vs. 14% in the press overall) and substantially less negative (40% vs. 57% in the press overall). Yet even here, his negative stories outweighed positive ones by almost 2 to 1. These findings augment what was learned from a broader report on campaign media coverage released a week earlier entitled “Winning the Media Campaign: How the Press Reported the 2008 General Election.” That study found that in the media overall—a sample of 43 outlets studied in the six weeks following the conventions through the last debate—Barack Obama’s coverage was somewhat more positive than negative (36% vs. 29%), while John McCain’s, in contrast, was substantially negative (57% vs. 14% positive). The report concluded that this, in significant part, reflected and magnified the horse race and direction of the polls.

Whilst he and they may be right wing in themselves, they will follow the political bias of whoever is in power. The exceptions would be the (whichever) Times, which is generally left to be neutral as it is established as a paper of record.

Yeah, the media is controlled by Democrats; which why 75% of the political news coverage was about John McCain and/or his pit-bull in lipstick Sarah Palin . Which is why 95% of all the major networks are owned by registered Republicans. Which is why Faux News exists. Which is why Rush Limbaugh is still on the radio. Which is why Phylis Schlaffly is still on the radio.

And people, they gave a woman a credit card to go shopping! What woman wouldn't go crazy with someone else's money! If the media wasn't so left they might report a little more unbiased information! I'm sure the Democrats have done their share of stupid things, we just don't hear about them because most members of the media are democrats! I don't care to know your opinions on politics.

Fox news seems to be trashing the party they so dearly loved the last 8 years. I guess if you can't beat em you join em. Should be interesting how all of this pans out in the end.
