    You know that you're in trouble when your biggest asset is Jim Cramer. I think all of these liberal media outlets are going to fall by the wayside over the next 3 to 4 years. People are just getting tired of the bias news coverage crap.

    I found that every television channel in my country is leaned toward a single politician who is candidating for being president, so when that time comes, I just cease to watch TV since all you see is complete bias.

    Yes, that is sad reality, politicians own certain tv stations so the news are made to benefit one or the other. It's rather obvious to me that we are being fed fabricated news.

    During the election I watch the news as much or more then I normally do. I want to keep updated and know what each candidate has to offer. I don't pay much attention to the ads though because I find they really just bash each other in them. I am more interested in the debates and what they have to say during them. I want to be well educated on things when it comes time for me to cast my ballot.

    I think that it is important to pay attention to what is going on in the political sphere, but not for the typical reasons. Do not fool yourself into thinking that any one candidate will actually make a difference. It is important to watch the political elections to see what the hot issues are going to be within the next few years.

    Only when it gets down to the last couple of weeks before the election and I know who I am going to vote for. At this point you can not tune out as you need to knw what the candidates stand for. The non stop political commercials are what gets me. The election process in this country are one of the many things that need to be fixed. I would put that high on my agenda if I were a politician.
