How the media controls your political argument.

Nope, you should listen to emprical facts. All the data is out there. Inflation numbers, unemployment numbers past and present, voting records, ect ect ect. It takes a bit more dedication but if you want to be informed you have to look past what people are telling you and look at what's really happening.

People writing books want you to agree with them, or reassure you that your view is correct. news just wants to get ratings, politicians just want to get elected. A guy entering numbers into a database has no motive other than to get his work done so he can go home.

 

 

Oh, OK. I see where you're going. Look at the issues from both sides and make a proper decision based on who you agree with more.

Still McCain....

lol, that's fine. I could care less about McCain or Obama. It's just when people try to claim they are educated, when their "education" is a media fed sham.

And it's not a matter of looking at it from both sides, because both sides are represented by the media. Don't look at it from both sides, look at the empirical data rather than what the sides are telling you.
