Do you think the election is media rigged?

Personally I think Obama and McCain were narrowed down through the media. If you noticed there were people that got practically no media attention and obviously no one is really talking about other political parties as well. Not just because I'm voting for him, but this statement from Bob Barr really summarizes how I feel:

"I will be a candidate for the presidency of the United States, and it is precisely to give the American people a voice, to give them a meaningful choice so that they do not have to once again go into the polling booth on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, hold their nose and pull a lever — or touch one of those magical touch-screens that seem to be so much in vogue now — and vote for the lesser of two evils. America deserves better"

We have FIVE people running for president right now on FIVE different parties. We hear about TWO. TWO!!! People need to know they have more options than right or left. We have the Green Party, Libertarian, and Constitution too! I would like the media to not be so biased and talk about ALL of them equally.

Does anyone else feel this way?

That's my point...the media is a great influence in people's minds because they are subjected to it constantly (online, radio, tv, etc.). People vote for people because they DON'T KNOW of anyone else because they HAVEN'T HEARD of anyone else.

No I think anyone who is brainwashed by the media can't think for themselves.

I absolutely agree! Have you read Ron Paul's book, "Revolution - A Manifesto"? It is a great read. I am either writing in Ron Paul or voting for Bob Barr. If people actually did their own research and formed their own opinions rather than listening to Hollywood and the government-owned media, one of the other parties/candidates might actually have a fighting chance. Until we wake up and see what is happening to this great country of ours, we are seriously doomed.

Only on the LIEberal media's part. In reality it's not so easy but I'm sure Obama would do it if he had the chance. He's is so losing this election and he's finally realizing it.
