Have anyone noticed how the media talking heads are now asking the question whether the rhetoric is getting to heated and is racially motivated and where is all this anger coming from in reference to the so called health care debate. Just for those who hasn't figured it out well the media talking heads know they have been a big vessel in perpetuating all this hate mongering against the president. The media is just trying to CYA just in case someone tries to hurt the president. The media don't want people to starting putting 1+ 2 together which could lead them to come to the conclusion which is that hate mongering was shown over and over again on several different media outlets as it pertains to Obama for the purpose of elevating those who continuously disrespect the president to get higher ratings at any cost.

Yeah! that's right I said what many people are thinking which is the media care more about their ratings than the life of the president. For example why would so many media outlets continue to focus on the hate mongering town hall meetings when they knew that there were hundreds if not thousands of town hall meetings in which people may have disagreed but they were respectful. Why would the media talking heads perpetuate Republicans lies when posed from the opposition of the president, when the they knew it was a lie but instead of correcting the opposition so their viewer would know the truth the media talking heads let it go. My point is the media talking heads are intentionally trying to create a narrative that would force a democrat or someone from the administration to respond to the lie. The reason this is constantly done by the media is to keep as many controversies as possible going, fake or not even at the expense of the presidents life.

The bottom line is that if there's any kind of attack on the president the media will be partially to blame because the words or actions of others do matter and so does the way news is reported. The way many news outlet are reporting the news is deceptive to the American people and as for now the media don't deserve our respect or trust. There's always the exceptions but there doesn't seem to be many. Stay strong and informed America and push back on any media organization that report stories out of context.

KEEPING IT REAL!

The media seems to dismiss most African American guests analysis of whether the hate mongering taking place right now by those who support the Republicans and even congressman is racially motivated, instead they seem to rely on what their Caucasian counter parts say about the matter as if they can relate better although they're not black.

It's astonishing but understandable because they don't want to hear the truth because they know that their role in all this hate mongering pertuating is large. Perpetuating racism and lies is just as bad as those who the actual actors.

It seems you are leaning one way instead of being in the middle looking both ways. How can you judge any of your thoughts that way? The media, all of them, report the news as they see it. They are just like you they are sitting on one side or another and many look at both sides of the issues. Many in this country look to the news for information about policies and people. Many make an educated opinion some where between right and left. Now if you want to get into the lying business there is plenty of that around today.

The Obama Administration like all other administrations they bend and twist things around like they want. However this administration has cost us more money than we bargained for. They are still pushing and people are starting to push back now. Out of the mouth of Obama came many lies and there a still many more to come. Educate yourself first then you can make form your own opinion. The lies will not stop. It's up to the individual to be smart enough to figure it out.

    It's obvious that you've received your talking points from the Glenn Beck types. The media role is to inform the public with as much clarity and truth as possible. The media role is not to create a false narrative or deliberately report news out of contact in order to have a particle out come. I stand by what I said and if my opinion appear to be more favorable to the president oh well but my assessment is correct. Don't lose any sleep over my opinion.

    I don't watch Glenn Beck, he makes to much noise. I do care about what this administration is doing to our country. He can have my respect but not my confidence. Watch how you form your own opinion. I believe you missed a few points. Just one for you forced health care. I don't think that is even legal to impose on everyone in the nation. Many are concerned about the cost of a brand new program. Many don't want a new program just fix what we have, it's a lot cheaper and a better system.

      Like I said you obviously get your news from Glenn Beck or Fox so called News because what you just said is factually wrong and I am being kind with my words. Choice doesn't mean forced the last time I heard. People like you probably should fall in the uninformed or just plain ignorant category. Some who have health care that don't want change just care about themselves and those who are ignorant make comments like yours because they don't do their own research of an issue to be better informed.
