One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
Have you noticed that all the major news anchors on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and others recite the same biased points about the Presidential campaign, as if they were reading from the same script?
These hypocrites constantly tout poll findings to emphasize the points of their news commentary – provided those findings validate their biased views. When Hussein Obama was leading in virtually all of the polls, the talking heads announced such findings with alacrity. This week, after Sarah Palin has energized the country and awakened many somnolent voters to the campaign, the McClain/Palin ticket is leading in those same polls. However, this week, I heard four different talking heads say that polls are meaningless and a poor estimator of who will win in November; all four gave the same advice to those who were with elated or depressed that the Republicans would win, and used the identical expression that they should all “take a deep breath.” Remember, during the 2000 election, when all of these news people accused George Bush of lacking “Gravitas?” Lisa Meyers, Brokaw, Rather, Chris Matthews, Shieffer, Blitzer and the rest of the phonies wore this word out. Golly, you don’t suppose the Obama people and the Democrat National Committee are delivering talking points to the compliant news media to regurgitate to the public?
