U.S. Media and the Presidential Campaign

As much as I would like to refrain from commenting on the U.S. Presidential elections, I could not sit back and withhold my comments regarding the media bias during Presidential election's. In all my years of being active in Politics I have never seen the U.S. media, print, and T.V. devote the majority of there time towards only one candidate for U.S. President. I could not help but notice how the Washington Post has published three or four articles towards the democratic candidate for President, as compared to only one article regarding the Republican candidate for President. With regards to the T.V cable news coverage, CNN this past week has devoted every evening towards the Democrats presidential candidate trip to Europe in his meeting with the heads of State. As compared to only a limited amount of coverage towards the Republican presidential candidate campaign trail. We have some Maj0r faults in our system, when the U.S. Media is so bias towards to reporting of the presidential elections. It is important to note the Federal F.C.C. law to allow all candidates equal time coverage during a federal campaign. One would thank with such unfair media coverage towards the Democratic party, one would thank that we live in a country much like Russia. It is important for a democracy to have a free and fair election process with equal media time for each Presidential candidate. Please send me any comments that you may have regarding this topic.
Best Regards!

I thank you for visiting my blog your comments and suggestions are most important to me. It is my goal to build a grass roots network of fiscal conservatives throughout Maryland and the Nation. As we work to end one party rule in Maryland by restoring fiscal accountability in the State House.
Respectfully Yours!
