The media are accomplices in Republican manipulation... [View All]

They seldom will call the Repubs when they use terms like "Obamacare", "Democrat Party", "Job-Killing Healthcare bill", etc.

Seldom will they say that the first budget of Barack Obama included the $700 Bank bailout of George W Bush. They do not put the huge deficits into perspective. They permit the Repubs to lie about it for political advantage.

How do we know that the guy that had his gun strapped to his knee, attending an Obama event, was not mentally unstable? Where was the press?

Now, they show this long-hair hippie-type photo of the killer from Tucson. There are more recent photos but they prefer the long-haired one? Why? They don't mention that he also reads Ayn Rand and was very anti-abortion. They are attempting to portray him as a liberal, not a right-winger.

The media needs to do their job and stop carrying water for the Republican right-wingers and propagandists. Their job is not to get Sarah Palin elected. They could start by keeping politicians honest with their language.
