Now that we have won the 2006 election, some are already looking forward to 2008.

Some already have their candidates, but does anyone think the media will be fair and balanced by 2008, depending on who the candidates are or who the nominee is? I mean, really report the facts, accurate information on the candidates, nominee and the rallies.

Explain.

1. Easy on McCain, hard on HRC and will ignore the one person
who could unite both sides.

That's our media!

3. Agree. All McCain, HRC with her being demonized by media.

2. What is this "fair and balanced" of which you speak?

Short answer: No chance. They are beholden to their corporate masters, and they will shill for whoever favors those masters. They'll pick their favorites -- probably McCain and Hillary -- and "decide" they will be the candidates.

4. Reporting accurate information about the campaingns and rallies
I didn't see that in 2000 or 2004, which is why I went to the blogs for info.
