SHOW ME one person who voted for Sen. Obama or for Sen. McCain (or voted against either of them) because of anything The Washington Post wrote.

If you say there's at least one such person nationally, and maybe many, then tell me what percentage of the 120 million Americans who voted for either Senators Obama or McCain, tell me how many of them did so, because of anything The Washington Post wrote during the campaign.

If you say even five percent, I'll look at you like you're delusional: if you say two percent or even one percent, I still think you're dreaming.

The Political opinions currently held nationwide by the American People, the opinions that decided the 2008 national elections, those opinions run very deep and are rock solid, and they were not formed or even influenced in the slightest way, by anything spewed chattered prattled hummed clucked or written, by The Washington Post.

The same can be said for most if not all the major American newspapers: even the television networks and cable networks had  extraordinarily little affect on the deeply held and unshakable national opinion Americans currently hold, of their Congress and of the Bush-Republican administration (and that right there is the single most powerful cause of that opinion: eight years of a Bush-Republican administration of the Federal Government).

 

People who say that "media bias" decided the national Political opinions of the American People in the 2008 national election, whether those opinions were for or against either Senators Obama or McCain, people who think that are either sincere or insincere in what they say:

If insincere (and I think most of today's media to be clever enough to make such an insincere claim), then what they say is indeed called "spin", and is just another lie this media tells us, in addition to the many others...

And if the claim that The Washington Post et al in the media, did form and influence a significant part of the American People's current national opinion of their Congress and Federal Government (an opinion I say is truly rooted in the past eight years of a Bush-Republican administration), if they are sincere in that claim, then they either stupid or foolish or delusional or something else that means pretty much the same thing and has pretty much the same appearance.

In both cases, especially the first, it is a great and unbelievable CONCEIT, to think today's media has significantly influenced the extraordinarily antagonized opinion the American People currently hold against George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress, after their near eight year rule.

This media today, and in particlar The Washington Post, they continue to lie to the American People, about those same Peoples' own Political opinions... right up to the end, and beyond.

And as I said, their claim that they form and influence the opinion the American People currently hold about National Policy (and did express officially this past Tuesday), that claim is evidence that today's media is either lying or delusional or stupid or CONCEITED or all of the above...

They lie and dream and err and then proudly boast, that they have an affect with the American People, that is not truly there, not anymore.
