Sour Grapes of Wrath

Jeez guys. Don't get your panties in a bunch. My point was to show that some Right Wing pundits want to spin this mid-term sea change like it was all about people being duped by biased media.

It has always seemed to me that if the media simply reports the "news," the facts of what occurs on the ground, the deaths, the violence, the civillian casualties, that they are accused of being "biased" or "negative." WTF?

I agree that many media outlets do the "if it bleeds it leads" routine, but there are so many objective outlets to get a more objective view: BBC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, etc.

Whatev.
