Independent Thinker

Food for Thought

How the main street media always screws it up??

I like to think I am fairly independent minded, I like to hear all sides of the argument before I make my mind. I will admit sometime I can never make my mind because both sides are correct in certain aspects. The MSM has shown a fair bit of bias to the democrats in this election cycle, and I’ll be the first to admit that Fox News has for the first time lived up to their claim of “Fair and Balanced” coverage compared to other cable news networks.

When the MSM’s realize their bias and try to pivot to the center and they screw it up again. I am talking about the idiot Jerome Corsi’s recent book about Obama. In their hysteria to correct their Obama leaning reporting, the MSM have now decided to invite this guy on all cable news shows with the full knowledge that half the stuff he is saying is made up crap. Since when did this become responsible journalism, when you try to correct one bias with another bias. I mean when you invite this guy on Larry King Live that is just giving him more room to spew more of his bullshit. I am truly amazed.

John McCain has gone off the deep end

I always knew that John McCain did not always like or trust Valdimir Putin, but the recent statements coming from the Senator from Arizona would have one think that the Russians tanks were sitting just outside of Phoenix. Did I miss something, I know Georgia is very near and dear to Americans being a democracy and all(is it really??), but why is he taking it so personally.

I have heard stories of John McCain’s temper, but could never picture how it could effect his being an effective President. But his recent statements, coupled with his tendency to take unsubstantiated statements from the media and Saakashvilli as facts and his own hot headedness, for the first time I am actually glad that Bush is the President instead of McCain. If he was there we would probably be already preparing for Armageddon.

Here are a few examples of his statements today excerpted from his interview with editors of U.S. News

Republican presidential candidate John McCain kept up his criticism today of the Russian invasion of Georgia, noting that he spoke again this morning with Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili and discussed the latest abuses by Russian troops. “There is a clause in this cease-fire that the Russians are using as a loophole for maintaining their presence there,” McCain said in an interview with U.S. News editors.

No Shit Sherlock, that is why it is called negotiations.

The Arizona senatorsaid he has talked to Saakashvili every day during the current crisis. McCain also referred to media reports that “the Russian troops reeked with alcohol and are looting.

Maybe you should campaign in Georgia for their Presidency and just to show that he has not forgotten about ordinary Americans while he fighting for the Georgians, here is another excerpt -

Pivoting to the presidential campaign, McCain said: “It’s very clear that the overriding issue is the economy. Americans are hurting very badly…but I also think that national security is an underlying issue because we have just found out in the last few days that we live in a very dangerous world and there are situations which can arise which were not readily foreseen, certainly not by average citizens…that require experience, knowledge, and judgment.

Never thought I would say it twice but thank your lucky stars George Bush is the President.
