With all respect to the General,

Its well known that most of the US media is very biased, so I only get my news from the O'Reilly factor and from websites such as Red State.

I am content with my options for staying informed. I cycle through a variety of sources on TV, Cable, Websites, Blogs, Newspapers and Magazines to extract meaningful facts and context. Part of my satisfaction is the excitement of the hunt; and I can readily figure out which candidates and issues I support.

To have one source that focused only on what I was interested in would become boring pretty fast.

I do wish it was a bit easier to be alerted to items of special interest but technology seems to be taking care of this as time goes by.

The problem is that the media are giving us what we apparently want.
If the public weren't making their current strategy profitable, they would change.
The public needs to develop a backbone and vote with their TV dials or turn-off knobs.

And no matter how much you complain about the candidates and the primaries being portrayed like Hollywood gossip, they simply refuse to listen.
Then they all scratch their heads in wonder at the people flocking to the internet and various blogs for our news and information.
Because the msm either doesn't get it or stubbornly refuses to listen to the viewers.
Possibly because they cannot understand such indepth and weighty subjects outside of gossip.
