I will say, though, that this is the first time I've read any comment about the media being controlled by the Right... they're usually labeled 'The Liberal Media'... interesting to see different perspectives. McCain makes me heave (and Palin gives me nightmares) but stuff like this photo just proves that it really doesn't matter what the truth is anymore... everyone just wants to believe what suits them. Anyway, I'm with Windblownbutterfly... things will be better (well, that's relative, I guess) when it's all over.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637670293642285740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-16843877701350027842008-10-18T11:38:00.000+11:002008-10-18T11:38:00.000+11:00Gosh--here in the US, the media wouldn't even rese...Gosh--here in the US, the media wouldn't even research the truth about the whopping lies that McCain and Palin tell in the debates and in their campaign ads--much less actually PRINT the truth.<BR/><BR/>Wonder why? (could it be because the main US media are now controlled by giant corporations with Republican ties?--yeah, that's it...)<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I've never seen this photo until now. I would have thought it to be a photoshopped caricature!
