Steve,

<< If you are not getting the news you want - change the channel. To think in todays market that the news is somehow manipulated is something I just do not buy into. >>

Another thing we will have to agree to disagree on. But case in point with your trying to watch a full version of Obama's speech. You said you were unable to find a channel that was carrying the speech. You changed the channel and didn't find what you were looking for.

The control of the media has continued to be more centralized, a process that has been significantly accelerated under the present administration. One company can now own the tv stations, the newspapers as well as several of the radio stations in single markets. In addition to that, I see the media acting like packs of animals, picking up the same story with the same slant. This mentality helped BC in 92, helped Bush in 2000 and is helping Obama now.

Again, that is just my opinion from my vantage point.
