President Bush has seen poor approval ratings for quite some time now.  I feel that's in large part due to the bias media coverage currently in the United States, but that's for another day.  Democrats swept into control of Congress and the Senate talking about change and a new direction.  What we've gotten is the same ole bitter politics we've had for years. 

All politicians take these darn numbers and spin them however they need to make themselves look and feel good.  The problem is, the public is fed up with politics in general.  This constand finger pointing and bickering is what the public is fed up with.  For years we heard from democrats how the republican controlled senate and congress bullied them and shut them out.  So the democrats used any methods at their disposal to derail anything the republicans tried to do.  Now the tides have turned and the democrats are trying to shove anything and everything it can down the throats of the republicans.  Unfortunately, the democrats taught the republicans well.  They know all the tricks to derail their agendas.

The democrats need to quite trying to shove legislature down the throats of the republicans.  We are finished with this us against them mentality in politics.  Why are the democrats pushing through legislation that they know will be stopped or vetoed?  Why can't they actually meet with poeple on the other side and talk about the problem and come up with a joint solution.  Wouldn't it make more sense to come up with a plan that both sides of the isle can agree with.  Heavan forbid they actually work together.

And why dwell on things that you know are going nowhere.  The democrats are still trying to investigate the US Attorney firings.  They claim they were politically motived.  Well hell yes they were, just like every other time this has happened in history.  There has not been a president that hasn't fired a bunch of attorneys.  The attorneys work at the descretion of the president.  He has full hire and fire athority and has to have no reason to do it.  So why waste all this energy and valuable time investigating something that we already know the answer too?  President Bush has full authority to do what he did.

Another waste of time fight is the pardon of Scooter Libby.  It doesn't really matter why President Bush pardoned him.  Just like every president before, he has full authority to pardon anybody for any reason that the wishes.  The investigation is going to go nowhere and reach the results we already know.  Why waste the time and energy.

In the end the democrats are going to blame the republicans for their poor rating and the republicans are going to blame the democrats for theirs.  The real answer is, people are tired of the bickering and do nothing politics that are going on today.  We, the public, want something to get done.

It looks like NBC once again is being accused of being bias toward the liberal left and it's people and agendas.  Al Gore and the Live Earth propoganda was given numerous hours of free airtime.  The content that was put out went 100% unchallenged.  There were zero differing opinions or facts presented during the Live Earth event.

Some conservatives and those on the far right are crying foul.  Saying that NBC did not provide proper opportunity under the Fairness Doctrine to the other sides opinion.  Here's the kicker, they don't have to.  Al Gore is not running for any political office.  Because of that, NBC can claim this is a non political event.  This event is a current issues event that all should be a part of.

This does show that NBC no longer wishes to be a news or fair reporting broadcaster.  NBC is only interested in broadcasting events and facts that support the opinions of it's high level employees and executives.  Networks once were expected to present the facts on both sides of an issue and let the viewer decide for themselves.  NBC execs have decided they know what's right and wrong and only present the facts that they believe tell the story they want told.

That is what has become of our major networks.  NBC, CBS, and ABC are all decidedly left leaning networks.  Anybody that does not see this, is in complete denial because they agree with the information that is being filtered.  Fox is the best of the worst.  Fox is right leaning, but does a better job of giving the other side it's chance to speak. 

That is why talk radio and the internet is booming.  It is the last places that both sides can give their own unfiltered opinions.
