So I've done some thinking recently. I would like to start out saying, congrats to Barack Obama on winning the election. I myself, voted for McCain. I however, will not be a bitter person who subjects the newly elected president to racial slurs. I will however say, the media had a lot to do with our newly elected president. Let's face it, if not for major networks such as MTV, BET, Comedy Central, NBC, etc. I do not think Obama would have had as many votes. I am Not saying that McCain would've won. I just think it's very biased that all these networks gave Obama a "free ride". McCain on the other hand was criticized. Mostly concerning his former time in the US Navy. I can see how it would be easy for comedy to hit the Republican party for laughs, as George Bush, put us in the situation we are in now. However, most young (first time) voters voted for Obama based on these networks giving him the popularity he has gotten. I've spoken to people who do not even know who Joe Biden is. However, you mean to tell me that the whole group of young voters know everything on Barack Obama? When A couple of years ago we never heard of him? No... Biden is only known now by association. Especially to the first time voters. Can most of them honestly tell me or others where Biden stands .. issue's? Can they say what he's done in the past? No. They cannot. I don't expect them to either. Why should they? They (some) voted for a minority candidate who's popularity sky rocketed by these biased networks. I believe we shouldn't be able to have biased opinions on public networks during an election. Today's youth is so strongly influenced by what's on TV. Ask any teenager what's going during "The Hills" and I'm sure he/she will tell you. Ask them what's the new "Jona's bro's" album, I'm sure they know. When networks make biased comments it "brainwashes" voters. I'm not angry that Obama won. I think he will be a fine president. However, let's say sometime down the line, Obama screws us up (Hypothetically of course). And we want so bad to have nothing to do with him or his party, that we vote for a guy who's virtually a nobody because we are in a rut, and the pattern continues with the next guy...Sound familiar much? We need to take the precautions needed NOW to ensure that voters understand who we are voting for and why. Not based on what the media tells us. And certainly not based on what Chelsea Lately from E News has to say.
