The bias of the corporate news media has become transparent. All we have to do is crosscheck our sources.
For example, how is Bob McDonnell’s big win playing in different new sources? An AP story in the Houston Chronicle carried this conclusion.
This time voters expressed angst about major Obama initiatives such as health care, energy and stimulus spending. But McDonnell dominated the campaign’s central issues: jobs and the economy.
In Associated Press surveys at polling places statewide, about eight in 10 voters said they were worried about the direction of the nation’s economy, and the majority of those favored McDonnell. (from here)
On the other hand, ABC had this to say.
Majorities of voters – 52 percent in Virginia, and 57 percent in preliminary exit poll results in New Jersey – approved of the way Obama is handling his job. Most in both states, moreover, said the president was not a factor in their vote. (from here)
Apparently, the corporate news media still has not had time to get in lock step. So their disarray is apparent.
What is the bottom line? Do not check the corporate news media to find out what your neighbors are thinking. You will get more accurate results if you just ask them.
