I'd like you all to think about storylines and the bias they demonstrate. You are aware of this "Bill is mad at Barry because he dissed Bill and his steady girl, what will happen at the prom?" It isn't so much about negativity in what they say, it's those storylines they pick to follow; the problem inside the Democratic party and those Hillary voters, etc. They have been done to death these last months. Stop and think about it. It is nonsense. It is "days of our lives", soap opera drama, tempest and fury, signifying NOTHING!
"Suzy told Bobby that Billy said that Joanie was saying bad things about Joey." It may seem like something big when you're in high school, but when you GROW UP you realize it meant NOTHING. And all the corporate media is frothing with the stuff.
Take that "Hillary voters" nonsense. . . . . every talk show I listen to that is at the convention says that every former Hillary supporter they talk to is solidly behind Obama. Got that? There are so few of those Hillary holdouts, corporate media has to hire trackers to go out and find one of them to interview. When they talk to them, they turn out to have no rational basis for their decision to vote for McCain. That's because they aren't real. They are only another manifestation of the effort to cause trouble for the Democrats. That is the basis of this whole "Hillary voters" thing -- NO REAL BASIS, no 'there' there.
If you take that basic story and turn it to the other side, you find credible, former Republican insiders who are urging people not to vote for McCain, and they back their stance with rational, concrete reasons. Are you hearing this covered, ad nauseum, like the Hillary drama? Not really. Wonder why? (not really)
In every issue the corporate media is frothing over, if you take the storyline and look at it, they are all empty nonsense, they are only applied to the Democrats to create drama around the Democrats and they are not applied to the Republicans.
Another example is the Hillary/Obama drama. PLEASE! Hasn't every primary from the beginning of the nation produced a winner and a loser, often with some miffed feelings? And haven’t there always been negotiations behind the scenes about who'd do what, concessions, push and pull, etc.? But look at all the time and attention corporate media has given to this non-issue, on and on, as if back and forth negotiations are something extra-ordinary and unusual. Again, Please!
This is a non-issue and it is only being applied to the Democrats to create drama around them. Or do you really want me to believe there aren’t any divisions or disagreements within the Republican Party that need to be negotiated and worked around? Yea, right, they're just one big happy family. "It's a small world after all . . . .. "
Think about it, they are all creating these storylines of soap opera drama and then only applying them to the Democrats. That's bias.
