To many people are caught up in what say Oprah , or a Hollywood actor or music entertainer might say and or endorse , to many people have fallen into the trap of the 20 second sound bytes , the front page hit pieces and the talking heads on talk shows (Radio and TV) without actually doing the hard fact finding and research into those that we elect or the issues that most effect us.

We talk to Friends and associates and get miss cued opinions on many of these things , just look at how many differing view points we see on this site alone and how many differing takes on any one given topic we can come up with , Not a one of us and Not a one of these talking heads can get the complete picture to what is actually going on and it is up to each and every individual to do the homework to get a formulated picture on who You decide to vote for . No one should make their decision based on what a talking head has to say or what a person in the media might have to say , many of the folks on these shows are biased in one way or another and are following a script anyway.

We are a nation of individuals , we are at a point in history where outlets for information is readily available to all , sometimes it takes perseverance to look and engage ones self to look in many directions and piece together from multiple sources and differing view points a glimmer of what the bigger picture actually is instead of relying on just a few sources that are in many cases biased.

This is one of the things that politico's detest the most it does not matter what side of the isle they are on they detest that you and I the We The People of this country are able to gather information about them and see through the damage that they would like to inflict on us , and the bad decisions they make in office. We are able in this information age to review any and all decision they make effecting us and that does not sit well with them , that is one reason they would like to impose the " Fairness Doctrine" , or try to regulate any other form of free access to information say by regulating the INTERNET , we are seeing a back lash against the MSM for these very reasons they have fallen into the tank of only covering what they are told to leaving many unable to actually see what the bigger picture to it all might be , many of these "news" outlets are owned by a few people or a few corporations and reflect it in the coverage of what is actually going on in the world , they fear a informed populace , and they detest alternative outlets , but it is up to all of us to inform ourselves the best posible way to find what is in the middle of what we might gather from the various sources to come up with the best desision for ourselves and for this great country.

Information is the currency of democracy.
Thomas Jefferson

I apologize for going off the Oprah topic but it does relate , she is just a talking head that is biased in one dirrection and if anyone can't see that they need glasses.
