If there is one aspect of politics that will no longer be doubted by the end of this political season it will be that 90% of the media is biased and greatly slanted left. The treatment of all candidates involved this election has been laughable at best. It has removed the "myth" label from the notion that the media is biased and placed it into the factual category so much so that even some on the left have pointed it out.
America, for the most part, is a soundbite nation, electing to refrain from the rigors of politics on a daily basis and choosing only to pay attention for a month or two every election cycle. This plays directly into the hands of politicians as they count on an apathetic and uneducated electorate to remove themselves from the information process and rely on good-ole government to solve all of our problems. Let's face it, if American's really knew the reasons for and the extent of our nation's problems, perhaps they would take back their government from the ones entrusted with its care and demand real "change". The fact that most of this nation's problems have been because of too much government gets ignored because of the unwillingness of the average American to get involved, learn from history, and seek the truth. For too long now, they have decided to largely ignore politics because of the stigma that comes with it, a stigma well earned mind you. But again, this is what the bureaucrats want because it allows them to buck the system and give us whatever kind of government they determine is best for us. What's at stake is literally our freedoms, our heritage, our founding principles, and our future. We cannot allow this to continue.
For the average American who does take the initiative to get involved and seek answers, they must now encounter a media so biased its hard to trust anything you hear from them. Most eat up what the media tells them and therefore pushes many to the left. Is it any wonder why so many Americans have so much contempt for George Bush when for the last eight years all we have heard is how bad a person he is? I am not saying Bush has been perfect. As a conservative, he has done many things to upset me. But to have so many in this country think he is the equivalent to Adolph Hitler and has done anything remotely close to an offense worthy of impeachment is dishonest and borderline retarded. And the media is there all along perpetuating the lie.
Somehow, someway, we need to find a way to get Americans involved again in the political process and most of all, get them accurate and factual coverage of the issues without an underlying objective. We need to remind people that the principles on which this nation was founded and the principles that paved the way for us to become the greatest nation ever, are those that were born not out of government, but from the people themselves who showed an adherence to faith, truth, honor, and self-reliance. And the system of limited government which they created reflected those principles, which has made America an example and a beacon to all who seek freedom and prosperity. Our very future depends on this.
