US “Political Media:” A detriment to democracy! Example, Limbaugh and Maddows.

Media in the United States, at least cable-television “news”, and a great deal of radio, allies itself with political ideologies; more often than not, the media sacrifices facts in favor of making political statements!

Generally speaking, US media occupies two fundamental schools of thought: Conservatism, and Liberalism; each one of these terms serves as a rallying cry for the two major political parties, the Republicans, and the Democrats.

The most prominent spokesperson for Conservatism, is Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh is a shameful voice who will stop at nothing in order to make political points, he even exploits such events as the earthquake in Haiti with its terrible humanitarian consequences. Limbaugh is backed-up by the likes of Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, and a cast of many others who view Liberalism as a plague with no redeeming values. These conservative “pundits” attempt to convenience their audiences that their view is the only right view!

The left does not seem to have as strong a voice as that of Limbaugh, but the number of those who speak for Liberalism, is not-trivial. It may be in order to start with Rachel Maddow who supposed to be a uniquely well-educated intellectual. One may expect from one with Maddow’s academic credentials to display some level of objectivity, but none is visible. Much like Limbaugh dealing with Liberalism, Maddow cannot find it in her heart to admit that Conservatives can do anything right! For example, in areas where President Obama continues with George W. Bush policies, to Maddow the policy while under Bush was bad, under Obama, the same policy, is positive. Some other in the same left-wing camp include the likes Oberman, a clown with minimal audience, Matthews, who much like Bill O’Reilly, on the other side of the political spectrum, means well, but who also cannot admit to any positive from the opposing side, Franken (now in Congress,) and many others.

The “Political Media,” the institution that should offer unbiased information to help the American public make educated political decisions, is so completely ideology driven, so much so, that it is detrimental to democracy, rather than to be a voice that should enhance the system
