imageLast week I was railing against the mainstream media for not doing its job in actually analyzing the information from all political candidates and parties above and beyond the spin they provide. Comedians and satirists like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart are being taken more seriously on issues that matter than many of our seasoned mainstream media broadcasters.

I watched both Meet The Press as well as This Week and was completely disappointed in its content. Unfortunately both of these programs that purport to be substantive would leave the ill-informed more confused. The reason is that they allowed each side to spin as opposed to being the respected arbitrator that could call out the verifiable twisting of facts or outright lies.

I’ve been convinced for a long time that the hands of our media are tied and that they are unable to be the unbiased dispensers of factual information to the citizenry. We are left with satirists and comedians like Bill Maher to break down issues into bite sizes for consumption for many that have tire of being spun.

These comedians and satirists will likely continue to get airtime as long as their penetration into the American psyche remains manageably small. I watch Politically Incorrect last night and simply enjoyed Bill Maher’s take the Voter ID regulations being imposed by Republicans to suppress the vote. I condensed it into ninety seconds. It says it all. Tell me what you think.

Remember you must now be the media. Get informed, share what you have learned, and most importantly vote.

    I am hardly ever asked for my picture ID. It’s way too obvious that I am old enough.
    But if there was a time when I couldn’t do something because I lost my ID, it would be an inconvenience, rather than having an impact that affected me for the next 2 or 4 years.

    But since the Republican fear factory is in full swing, let me plant this idea.

    You know something that some poor people do? They steal wallets, which could contain your picture ID. I know it’s scary. Just think how it would feel if someone stole your right to vote? See how easy voter ID allows that to happen?
