Ok, so the media isn't particularly liberal or conservative - it's entirely corporate... just like the politicians they're parading as the top contenders for the next presidential election. The "media" admits it - setting up a self-fulfilling prophesy...you know, to help you "focus":
I can't vote in the primaries because I'm not registered with a political party - but if you are I urge you to turn off your tv and radio and do the reading starting now.... for my sake. Since you are my friends, I assume you are smart enough to read up on the issues and have well formed opinions of your own even if we disagree. If not, and you need help getting started, message me and I'll give you some pointers.

I was so annoyed... just answer the damn questions with a damn answer. )
