I admit the 20% difference in knowledge of who controls congress was pretty bad – but I also think FOX and Republicans in general would be more conscious of the Dems control over those 2 years. I actually would forget about their small majority over those 2 years because Republicans had control since .. what.. 1991? a very very long time.

Anyway.. though GOP supporters, FOX news people and McCain voters will want to tout how this proves they’re more intelligent when it comes to politics- they statistically got more of the McCain and Palin negative questions wrong – every single time. Mainly this poll showed that FOX focuses on Obama’s negative stories – the other channels didn’t – you can call that ‘in the tank for Obama’ – I call it FOX is in the tank for the GOP and the other channels report things in a balanced way – but hey, call it whatever you like, right? =)

One other aspect of the media’s bias towards Obama centers around his race. Obama is steadfastly portrayed by the media as “The First African American President”, a statement which couldn’t be further from the truth. Obama is biracial, not African American. I noticed that the media was perfectly content in showcasing Michelle’s mother, an African American, yet Obama’s caucasian mother was nowhere to be found. Obama was embraced by the African American community as “one of their own” based on this little omission. If he TRULY believes in diversity, then he needs to be PROUD of his biracial heritage, not hide it. He is the living embodiment of the word “Diversity” and what better example to set than to show that biracial marriages work as well as any other.

In closing, I would have to say I wish him well and hope he does a fantastic job. Although I didn’t vote for him, I don’t want the American people to suffer through 4 years of ineptitude just to prove me right. I love this country too much to be that selfish.
