People aren't even aware how one sided the media has become.

The media is behaving like the President is a wimp because he has yet to attack Russia. I can't remember Reagan retaliating against the Soviet Union when they went to war with Afghanistan. The media didn't condemn Reagan, they applauded him for his wise decision. But Obama's a wimp. This is an extreme double standard.

The media will follow any Republican lead no matter how absurd. It has become so extreme that we could almost challenge them on it. Almost.

Makes me smile every time I see it. I think li'l Bin (have I got her name right?) is probably the cutest child ever in the history of Earth. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
