An interesting day for starting a blog.

Well, seeing as how we are wondering how much of a role the media plays in politics, all you have to do is turn on the television. On Sunday, while giving a speech in Colorado, President Obama referred to the Public Option, and said that the option was not extremely crucial for the bill that he wants to sign. Of course, depending on the way you feel about this topic, you might or might not agree with the public option. However, just the slightest thing said could change the way the media supports you or pushes against you to. Fox news has seemed to master the " anger the masses" technique. All day long, it seems that this was the only thing that was mentioned on their broadcasts. In their defense though, the opinions of those on the Fox News Channel, are more to the right of where Pres. Obama lies. But they are doing a remarkable job of tapping into the anger of the masses, none the less.
