Why does it matter if the MSM is biased towards Obama?

Question

If it does, that would mean some believe the American people are easily swayed by pundits raves and incapable of making independent decisions. Thoughts?

Answer 1

It doesn't.  Most just feel that it wouldn't be that big of a deal if they didn't claim to be neutral and unbiased.  That's all.  I think people would still watch if they just admitted that they swing one way.

Answer 2

Didn't Orson Welles scare people into believing "War of the Worlds" was really happening on his radio show?

Republicans are corrupt criminals, with only themselves as a first and only concern. Name a single good deed Republicans have done for the average American.

Every social benefit available in this nation, is due to the Democrats, this is a historical record.  Social Security, Student loans, GI bill.  Social Security is not much, but if it wasn't there, old folks would be out of luck.. Just like in third world nations, they'll have to live with their children.
