RNC versus the media

I watched some of the RNC last night. Or at least I tried. I kept changing channels between the stations that were carrying the convention, and each time they would stop showing the convention and give some “unbiased” commentary, I changed to the next station. It was aggravating trying to watch the convention when the liberal media outlets kept giving their spin on what was being said, and of course it always made the speaker look bad.

After Fred Thompson’s speech, which was really good, the “unbiased” reporter’s first comment was “Well, I like my speeches to have fewer disjointed sentences.” Sheesh.

It’s kind of amazing that for the past eight years we’ve had a conservative president. With 90% of the media working so hard to promote liberal ideas, and bash conservatives, I’m surprised that people still vote Republican. But yet, they do, and it’s a testament to the real people in this country who still have values and morals.

Thank God there are still more of us than them.

Some good folks with tremendous faith will cast their lot with the left. I am aware of quite a few whose "values and morals" will not allow them to vote any other way.

It should be interesting to watch it all play out.

A quote:

"In distilled form, though, the explanations of both the right and the left have become mirror images of each other. They are stories of conspiracy, of America being hijacked by an evil cabal. Like all good conspiracy theories, both tales contain just enough truth to satisfy those predisposed to believe in them, without admitting any contradictions that might shake up those assumptions. Their purpose is not to persuade the other side but to keep their bases agitated and assured of the rightness of their respective causes – and lure just enough new adherents to beat the other side into submission."
