John Ratzenberger, the actor who played know-it-all Cliff Clavin on my favorite TV sitcom Cheers, is a strong Republican. Kelsey Grammar (Frasier Crane) is also a Republican and supporter of Sen. McCain. Ratzenberger appears in an ad being played in Minnesota supporting Norm Coleman over lefty lunatic Al Franken. Cheers re-runs can be seen on TV Land, the CW, and the Hallmark channel!
And...
This presidential race is tightening. The map is daunting--no doubt. But, Sen. McCain has always been a fighter and Sen. Obama is still less than 50% in many key states and this is good news for us.
And...
I'll confess that I have not always toed the party line on one issue: media bias. Although I generally believed that the media might be more liberal than your average American, I was not as convinced as most Republicans that the media bias hurt our cause. Until this year. The media coverage of Sen. Obama has been downright irresponsible and the relentless attacks on Gov. Palin and guys like Joe the Plumber have convinced me that the mainstream large media outlets have a bias and that it manifests itself in their coverage. A recent study about the news media proves it. Read the story here. On the other hand, our local media have been mostly fair and I have always felt that we have been treated fairly--save one or two exceptions.
And...
Speaking of media bias, have you seen a story about Sen. Obama's massive financial advantage in this election? I have not. Sen. Obama will likely double Sen. McCain in spending in this election. In some respects, he is buying this election and the playing field is not fair. Can you imagine the media stories if a "fat cat" Republican were outspending the Democrat especially after the Republican broke a pledge to take federal financing? The disdain that would fall upon the "rich" Republican would be overwhelming. Obama gets a free pass from the press on this issue and it is simply unfair.
And...
Another example of media bias? The William Ayers story is a legitimate story. Had Sen. McCain served on a Board with a radical right winger who expressed tacit support for Nazi thinking and had admitted to bombing government buildings, you can be sure the media would have fully investigated. Obama gets a pass.
And...
One more example of media bias? Sen. Biden has been a flake and a blowhard for his entire political career. Political junkies on both sides know it. His moment-of-truth diatribe about Sen. Obama being tested by an international crisis just continues a long career of gaffes. Has the media portrayed him as a goof? No way. Compare the media's portrayal of Sen. Biden and their portrayal of Gov. Palin and any reasonable person can see the bias.
