You can't blame the media because you and most other Americans watch it, read it, etc, and patronize their advertisers. The "media" (not really controlled by Jews, unfortunately) is owned by very conservative companies who contribute vast sums to Republican causes. The journalists and writers are going for what entertains and titillates, and love to dig up the dirt, cos that's what Americans (espec Red-staters) love.

biggest media 'stars' are extreme right-wing commentators; they make the most money and get the most press (yes, even the media is out for more 'press').

this is a HUGE fallacy and so irrelevant. Please don't say the MEDIA pushed Americans to vote for Obama; it just shows ignorance. Obama was elected by Geo w Bush and the Republican machine, with it's extreme bible-based views about who people fall in love with and what they do with their pregnancies.
