The media does not have a social responsibility to promote positive body images. No. Not at all. It's a reflection of who we are as people. Over censoring says that we live in a dream world and it's best to pretend that reality doesn't exist. A recipe for disaster.

The media is politically biased and generally leans to the Right. Example: McCain keeps messing up. By covering his mistakes the media is being quite biased. People think Obama is getting favored. NO, it's because McCain keeps doing stupid things!

Michelle Obama dresses better than Cindy McCain.

Political candidates should not allow the media to interview their young children. If a candidate really wants to show off his kid, I suppose that's his choice. It shouldn't be a requirement. Kids lack a clear view of life and death...

Internet gambling should not be banned. Give me a break. Another fear mongering tactic to cause drama while the important issues of the day are overlooked. Lovely.
