Why is the news media quite about the Senatorial elections?
Q. In 2008 there is 22 Republican seats inwhich there will be no incumbents, and 12 Democrates. Even if the Republican candidate becomes President, it is possible for the Democrates to have a major majority in the Senate and be able to over ride any Presidential veto. But I not seen any news media discussing these election seats. Why?

A. It is my belief that many Senators will ride into office on the coat tails of the winning party's Presidential Candidate. Also, many Senators are strapped for campaign funds, because the Presidential Candidates are getting most of the available funds. I believe you will see more news related to Senators after the deadline in December and after the Primaries in each state.

Do you think the news media is partly responsible for the shootings in Omaha?
Q. This kid states in a letter he wanted to be famous. Should the news media take some blame because all the exposure these killers get?

Which news media on TV gives the best coverage of all of the candidates without bias?
Q. I am finding it difficult to find a news media on TV who gives equal coverage to all candidates without slamming some candidates while putting others on pedestals. Personally, I feel offended by the news media that suppresses the news because they support a candidate. Rather than reporting the news, they are censoring the news and thereby taking away my ability to make an informed decision. Does true news reporting exist today or is it just what they're paid to report or exclude? Don't news reporters have some kind of regulations or guidelines to follow?

And for the others who jumped, why would you want to see something that gruesome? I'm positive they showed dead bodies, but I mean it would be 100x worse than the images they're showing in Haiti. If you're watching a video, reading online, or watching from your tv about Haiti; and it has graphic material, it will generally have a warning before it plays.

Why does the News Media keep quoting anti-Obama Propagandists on the internet?
Q. The right wing has been pushing Obama-hate for months and the media hasn't picked up on the fact that it is being used. There are multiple posts by thousands of people who are working for one goal, to upset the elections. Why can't they stop looking for the easy story on the internet?

A. because there's nothing else to do. this is not an 'issue' election. meaning it's difficult to attack his political positions because they are also held by the majority of americans. so one must attack his character instead. same thing they tried with bill clinton in '96. the lowest form of debate is personal attack. but everyone knows it's also the most effective. (see swift boat veterans vs. john kerry in 2004)

The motto of the news media is if it bleeds it leads. Do they just report one disaster after another and?
Q. with hyperbole? You will never hear anyone in the media say thankfully there were no injuries or casualties. Is the media egregious and criminal with their primitive mindset that people are only interested in apocalyptic happenings when everybody is actually fed up with hearing about it? Fox News with Glenn Beck alone are felons.

A. The motto you cite refers to a philosophy of tabloid TV stations, but even that is overstated. There is a ton of good news available in every source, particularly newspapers (because it has the space to develop stories). I just read a story today about a program designed to improve young girls' self-esteem through counseling and running. Tens of thousands of kids have been helped already, and more to come. Yes, the news can be discouraging because news is often bad. There is rarely a story on a plane landing safely; it's the one that doesn't which is news. But if you look, you'll find good stuff.
