Here is a great example of 1 thing wrong with our media.

Russia is attacking the small country of Georgia & there is more media coverage about Edward's affair. What John Edwards did with another lady is his business....This is between his family & God.

What Russia is doing should be of concern to the world. Our media is tabloid twisted...The public must accept some guilt because if we ignored this then so would the media!

It is insulting that the Edwards story takes page one while not one major website or major news channel has begun to consider the potential drama of the Russian invasion.

How much have they really cared about any of the issues of the election that (1) military invasion, (2) potential NATO participation; (3) energy crisis and diversion; (4) Human Rights; (5) U.S. international policy carries absolutely NO weight.

To borrow one candidatates word's: SHAME ON YOU, national media.

One major factor, obviously, in the dumbing down of the U.S. that we have to take responsibility for, at least partially.

Puh-lease. That is B.S. NO ONE was banned for posting the Edwards blog...they were just panned by all for using The Enquirer and Fox News as their source.

He ASKED us to trust him. He assured us supporters of his honor and being trustworthy by building up his campaign of being a son of a mill working, faithful loving husband and father, a different type of politician who we could finally trust to bring honor back to government and our nation. He asked us to believe in the type of moral character he had in order to lead the country. In his book, in his private and public speeches, he told us over and over that this race was based on his moral convictions. I believed him. And, now I am dismayed.
