Bias In the Media

My PC crashed two weeks (Tuesday, Oct. 21st 08) before the election and since I have then I have turned to television to feed my fancy for mass medium. That's when I began obsessing about the election. That's when I become this storehouse of knowledge on the campaign that is going on. I watch everything that has the presidential topic on it. Never mind where the argument is leaning to: McCain or Obama or Palin or Joe the Plumber. I watched them all.

I know the media is partisan and bias. I know every anchorperson, man or woman, writer, reporter, on the house or on field, has her bias, her belief, her judgment, and who she would be votng or had voted for. I can tell. Even if the program is supposed to be unbiased, nonpartisan, objective, or proclaimed to be of "no bullshit," the media cannot hide under these pretense. After all the people who operate them are still citizens with sound mind and the right to vote.

But no, I don't blame the media if they are fair to one party or patronizing to another. It's rather impossible to be in the middle in this event, so much more with a presidential election which is very historical. The country is posed to seat an African-American president. This is the biggest news in the world in a lifetime.

And yes, I have my candidate, too. And because of that I would like to hear more about him, no matter how bias it is. Good to say, there really is no unfair bias standpoint out there regarding my candidate. The hallmark of journalism is still implemented and the media try its best.

Tomorrow is election day. It's almost gone.
