Over the last month or so I have noticed a rise in the polarity of the different news media. It seems as though there is a distinct effort from both the conservative media and the liberal media to attack each other.
On tax day there were small tea parties beign held through out the nation. The conservative media came out first and said the liberal media refused to cover these events. The liberal media came out and said these tea parties were manifested by the right wing media and son on...
This media environment is starting to look more like the WWE (WWF) wrestling programs than it does like news outlets.
Here is a Youtube clip of the conversation that was had after a reporter from CNN was caught whipping up partisan controversy. If you can get past the initial Libertarian spin and understand what is going on, this video has some interesting points...especially the "republicans suck too sign" In the background.

The news media in this country has become ridiculous. It seems like every week there's a new controversy between FOX, CNN, and MSNBC. They really need to stop with all their partisan crap and try to stick with just reporting the news. It's never actually going to happen though.
