I was afraid for a moment you might say Hillary. Even people who liked Bill hated her and I am amazed she has done as well as she has in the primaries. But then her persistence in winning the Senate seat in New York has stunned me too. She is a force to be reckoned with.

Valiant I did not say I worked in the media, I had to deal with the media in all forms on issues from race relations to capital crimes as a Police Commander and having relationships with those who worked in it.
And I am also aware that media is led around by manipulators performing dis-information from diffrent groups with diffrent motives.
With that in mind my premise that the liberal editorializing of the news by the major news entities in this country is rampant and blatant still stands. The worst offenders are the NY Times, Washington Post, several of the big western papers, the major news outlets on cable and TV owned by Turner and others like CNN MSNBC NBC CBS and many others too include the PBS news outlets which irrates me to no end.
I would like the news to inform me, let me see all sides of the issue, opinions from all sides of the debate at hand, ask relevant questions and demand answers from all sides equally.
The closest I have seen that in the cable news networks is Fox News. I am not enthralled with everything from them either but when it comes to presenting all sides of the issue and giving equal time to the various positions and opinions I feel they do the best job in the industry hands down. Apparently so do many millions of other viewers for the same reason as they have dwarfed the previous big outlet CNN.
When you watch the returns comes in on the election eve going back and forth between the major news outlets and see the honest reporting on one hand and you see the editorial version on the other channels it is stunning to me. When you observe the talking heads literally in tears when THEIR candidate is apparently losing in the last two presidential elections that is extremely revealing.
Yes my premise stands, so get your news from multiple sources, filter it down to the facts, believehalf of what you read and none of what you hear and try to dicern the truth in it as best you can.

With Your Permission, I Would Like To Put My 5 Cents In The Conversation.

I'm Cuban, American Citizen, I Lived In A Comunist County Until I Was 24 Yrs Old, I Was Not Allowed To Vote Nor Express My Ideas. Ever Since I've Been In Us
A Have Voted In Every Elction, No Matter How Small It Is, Because It Gives Me A Enormous Satisfaction To Know That My Opinion Counts, So I Dont Care How Not Appealing The Candidates Are, I Would Not Renounce Of Voting.

Now, If Your Selecting A Person For A Job (president Is The #1 Job In America) And You Read The Resume Of The Two Final Candidates, One With Two Years Experience (?) And The Other With 24 Years Experience, One Practicly Out Of School (harvard), (an Out Of Work Lawyer=politician) The Other An Oficer Graduated From West Point And Pow, Who Are You Going To Choose?

All in all I do love and enjoy our country.
If this election dosen't prove but one thing is the fact of the capability of anyone becoming someone, all the way up to the seat of office, of the president of the United States.
If we ain't had a whole mix of vegetables in the pot that have ran (and succeeded) for office the last few terms, I'll kiss MJ on the crack of the butt and give ya'll 3 days to draw a crowd!!
LESTERUS, you're inflated 2***8373; is appreciated.
