The election is over. The people have spoken. But there's that pesky media - heard this morning...

I was out doing some shopping, listening to the Diane Rehm show Friday news roundup on NPR. They were discussing the election, the fiscal cliff. Pretty much all calls came in supporting Democratic positions. Each time the moderator (I think it was Frank Cesno today) would say "but what about the Democrats - where are they not doing the right thing" sort of comment. Then a stunning comment from one of the women, who I believe is an NPR correspondent - "one of the most disappointing aspects of Obama's first term was in not changing the tone in Washington". Nothing about who was to blame.

In fact, if I was so sum up the 30 or so minutes I gritted my teeth through, it would be called the "False equivalence Hour". They create a self-fulfilling prophesy - they wonder why things are so screwed up, but do nothing to portray obvious solutions/obvious problems.

1. Horrible panel. They disappointed their paymasters, so now they're trying make up for it.

That panel had an anti-Obama bent, and they weren't even trying to disguise it.

3. If the media spent more calling out campaigns on the truly inane stuff and less

time on polls or targeted voters or fund raising numbers of the petty he said she said crap, this republican democracy we have cobbled together would have a chance of actually getting something done.

Just look at the traction this Libyan tragedy is getting and how little time is being spent on the justifications of the Dem's and the GOP and the coming ramifications of not or getting a deal will mean to citizens.
