Question

Is it a media distortion that depicts our politicians as incompetent or are they really that dumb?

Answer 1

Most of the time its the media. Especially TV and some of the writers. But, the pols don't need much help some of the times.

Answer 2

the white house controls the media

the white house is controlled my republicans

the white house wants to depict obama as some black terrorist and they never talk smack about mccain

but radio talk shows and magazines love barack

if the television media was independent they would be praising obama

Answer 3

wow gogo, what planet did you fall off of?

Usually it is the media making the politicians look bad.  I have actually seen nothing in the media towards Obama but very favorable coverage.  His media image is one of a brilliant young mind rife with new ideas that will save the country and the world.  

The current occupant of the White House is portrayed in the media as a bumbling idiot who can't tie his own shoes.  I hardly think that that is the case.  Most politicians (sadly) have law degrees and 6+ years of college education - no dummies allowed.
