Dear America,
Lowly citizens, we, the much
smarter and wiser media, have been inundated with requests* to be more honest,
and balanced, in our coverage of the election of Barack Obama to the
Presidency. We pledge to continue to be impartial ;-) . And, we
just wanted to remind you to vote; not for anyone in particular ;-) . We’ve done all we can to inform you.
Here’s the list to remember
when you get in that booth:
ü We turned Governor Palin into a caricature; we
ignored her accomplishments and exaggerated her flubs.
ü We’ve ignored the national embarrassment that is Joe
Biden. We’ve passed on Biden’s
huge gaffes and have overstated his intellect.
ü We convinced you that the Republicans are
responsible for the economic crisis; Democrats had nothing to do with it.
ü We did not fully investigate Obama’s radical views
and his radical associates.
ü We’ve let you believe that Republicans control
congress.
ü We’ve ignored the fact that Obama smokes.
ü We ignored Obama’s very extreme views on abortion.
ü We’ve obfuscated the tax issue enough to leave you
confused (lowering taxes can’t possibly raise income).
ü We’ve completely ignored any good news from Iraq or the ongoing war on terror
ü We demonized Bush/Cheney as much as we could and
linked McCain to him as tightly as possible.
ü We’ve called you a racist (let’s face it, most of
you outside of New York and San Francisco, are).
And last and most
important…
ü We’ve convinced you, despite Obama’s lack of any real experience, that he is qualified to be
President of the United States, possibly the most demanding job in the world.
Yes, we’ve done our job
America, now go out and vote, several times if you can, for the person whom
we’ve worked very hard. Oh, and,
you’re welcome.
