[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1048207, member: 9789"] I agree with your assessment that no one is forced to watch Fox or MSNBC but I do think that the media plays a major role in what people perceive as to what candidate should be the President. The President won't come on FOX to do interviews. He prefers the media outlets that will throw softball questions to him. How many people see Libya as an issue of misinformation? The media is supposed to be the political watchdog of our system of government but during this administration they have decided to take a nap. An administration that realizes this, will go as far as they can without anyone watching. It depends on what media outlet you listen too. Did you know that FaceBook is suppressing certain info that they deem is not in the best interest of the President? They are censoring certain pages. All the mainstream media is in the pocket of BO so if you can't hear anything that takes a different point of view than BO, you will perceive him to be ok. I am not sure that Romney made mistakes in the early going. BO bombed the airways with negative commercials, this is why the spike after the debates. All the money BO spent was negated by the first debate. Most voters are not political wonks like the folks on this website. They are influenced by what they hear whether it is true or not. [/QUOTE]
