WATCH FIRST^^^
Can you believe what you saw? I didn't realize how liberal our news media is these days. Well... I actually don't watch the news that often but when I did I never picked up to the fact that they were so one-sided. After looking at those statistics and thinking about the different networks I have watched I realized the truth in what was said in the video. Instead of being unbiased and giving a full report on both sides of the party for the midterms, they are choosing to say nothing because the outcomes of the Democratic party are not in their favor. Adrianna Cohen stated it well that these networks are too often acting like private PR firms for the Democratic party. As you saw from the video, during Bush's presidency they made sure to make the public aware of any scandal or drop in approval ratings but you will hardly hear anything about Obama's scandals or approval ratings.
Why does this matter and how is this affecting us? We as citizens and voters are being deceived and are becoming unaware about the truth of elections and midterms if only one side of the story is being covered. If we are being brainwashed by liberal media then obviously people are going to vote for what they see being put out on the media which may not be the best option. People have the right to know the full truth about both political parties. This means showing the GOOD and the BAD no matter what the network's viewpoints are. Networks may be helping the Democratic vote but is ruining their ratings as far as credibility. Who can trust a network that tells half truths? We shouldn't have to put up with this kind of deceitfulness. Stricter guidelines need to be set for media and how they present news to the public. Next time you are watching the news, BEWARE. Are they telling the truth?
