The problem with the News today is the subtle prejudice, this prejudice branches out to both major political parties. Republicans and Democrats alike both sway their parties in the direction they so choose.
The Republican media Fox News, while claiming to be "Fair and Balanced." Most frequently features talk show hosts downplaying our currently president, by talking to people who support him, using polls and focusing their news reports on current events, usually his mistakes. While I'm not against it, because somebody has to... They could shift to some of the more pleasant highlights of our everyday lives.
The Liberal media does not give us any news regarding the president, MSN/NBC/CNN... had plenty to say about Dubbya. They harassed our previous president to no end. I agree Bush made mistakes, but what's frustrating is the complete obliviousness to Barack Obama, and the problem is that the greater population of the United States watches these channels over Fox. The politically uneducated youth does not hear about our President's mistakes, or faults. They're protected from the truth.
Agree/Disagree, what could America do to stop this issue? Discuss the controversial poster if you choose.

There's one thing that all people need to realize: mankind is prejudice by nature and that will never change. I do think that various political networks need to consider a more passive way of looking at their stories. It's definitely difficult to find something like this, but I believe that's why only certain audiences watch various channels(you know, Republicans to Republican-based shows and Democrats to Democrat-based shows.) Though I'm not a huge fan, Bill O'Reilly proves to at least attempt at giving both sides of the story with his guests and experts that he has attend the show. I have found his points and arguments quite entertaining and meaningful(though I could've gone without an hour of hearing his voice!)
