IS THEIR A LIBERAL BIAS IN THE MEDIA: Would that be as compared to: Fox News, Oreilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Colter, Savage, Scarborough, Ingals and a myriad of others.
I have noticed that your polls seem to have the same theme, pitting liberals against conservatives. You know the more you stir it the worse it smells. It's time to come together and not be divided. Seems to me that in light of the current economy, two wars, terrorisim, loss of jobs, government bailout, stock market, environment and many many others, that you guys have plenty of serious topics to agree to disagree on. Any of these topics can stand some fresh thoughts. Who knows. Possibly..............

Liberal bias? How about general lack of focus. While the real stories get ZERO focus, the media feeds us Britney Spears (trust me- NO ONE with a functioning brain cares) and Anna Nicole Smith/Brangelina tripe. Meanwhile, supertankers filled with oil are commandeered by "pirates" (as if Johnny Depp and Captain Hook are on board). The real stories needing to be covered RARELY get appropriate journalistic consideration. Russia invades Georgia-not much of a story there, just a sovereign nation invaded and taken over by Russia-no big deal, lets report on Sara Palin's wardrobe or the first family's dog choice. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but the media in general is responsible for a large part of the mess we are in. How about we begin to focus on the REAL stories, and leave the tabloid stuff for the tabloids. Not sure what the real stories are? email me-- I will be glad to offer some suggestions. One suggestion might be, "why have gas prices gone down so significantly recently". Heard lots of incoherent explanations, has anyone else wondered about this phenomenon-or just me? As I stated in a previous post, God bless us all!

It's rather odd. Many will cast their votes on these issues, but no one can explain why they have voted one way or the other. Or even comment, for that matter. Could this mean that Bill Maher was correct in his assertion that Americans are too dumb to be governed? People who had never heard of Barack Obama or Sara Palin fell in love with them after their first speech, and were ready to put them in charge of the nation based on one speech which someone else penned. It's not only odd, it's SCARY! I consider myself not too brilliant, but what does that make the folks who don't know why they think what they think? I'm a liberal because my daddy was a liberal. I'm a conservative because I think the last 8 years were "AWESOME" I want another 8 years just like the last 8. DUH HUH. Something in the water, perchance? Gene pool dilution at record levels? Here's an idea for future voters/ poll participants. Vote after a brief period of contemplation, then maybe comment on your thoughts, so that the rest of us might get a clue as to what we may be missing. You might just be able to win someone over to your way of thinking, or at least make someone laugh.

We all know there is a liberal bias in the media. This past election proved that. They was pro-Obama, all the time. They wanted to kiss up to Obama every chance they got, and at the same time they bashed Sarah Palin because they know she's a good woman. She stands for what is right. All the media wanted to talk about was where did Sarah Palin get her clothes. They wasn't worried about Barack Obama giving $800 thousand dollars to the anti-American group ACORN. We don't even no if Obama is a legal citizen. Barack Obama will not show his birth certificate. The media's job is to report news, not keep it a secret. As we seen in 2008, things changed in America. Things changed for the worse.

Mr. Kimble,

It's they WERE, not they WAS. They WEREN'T not they WASN'T. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Yes, his father was from another country. The actual US law says that if ONE PARENT is a US citizen then that child is AUTOMATICALLY entitled to U.S. citizenship. I know this because I've been in the military for the last 13 years and my husband is from Italy. Our son was born in England(another country btw) to an American Mother and an Italian Father. His citizenship is American. Know what his birth certificate says? "United States Citizen Born Abroad"

Please get your facts straight. Going to the State Department website will do wonders. So will grammar lessons. Stop letting Fox News and Rush tell you what to think and use your own common sense.

Thank You.
