hello, media... stop the fucking manipulation!
for the last couple days it was all about hillary weeping.
now i am reading a headline on the l.a. times website which says Clinton wins Stunning Victory"
wtf!
39.1% clinton to 36.6% obama at the time i write this. that is less than 3% people!!!!
30% = landslide
2.5% = squeaking by
not to mention CNN which had a bright red banner, now removed which stated Clinton wins New Hampshire by a Landslide
how about this one from the london times McCain Seals a Political Comeback"
a state worth 24 delegates isn't "sealing a political comeback". obtaining texas with 170, that would be a seal on it.
aaarrrggghhh
it is pure bullshit. media manipulation to skew perception and reality. don't buy into it.
first of all two bloody states have had elections. there are 48 more to go. secondly, certain candidates aren't even being given air time in the debates or other public sources controlled by the media.
this is an example of the media continuing what they have done since the time of hearst and others. put in front of the public only what the media wants to control.
well, guess what? there is this wonderful tool called "the internet". we can learn more about the positions of the candidates and make our decisions that way.
use it!
i haven't made up my mind which candidate out of the many i support fully yet, but damn it, don't force feed me nonsense.
