Why is the media obsessed with polls, opinions, and assumptions? The election hasn't happened yet, why is it 'official news' to report on what random people are feeling? There are at least 40% of Americans who are very opposed to the Tea Party and conservatives. Why don't they interview any of them?

I want to know why people are feeling bad. Are they listening/watching to 12 hours of right-wing radio and TV each day (commute to work, 8 hours at work, commute home, Fox News at night)? Do some investigative reporting, look into who is controlling the message and why, find solutions that would work. Do some reporting on why the people age 40-60 want to maintain the status quo. Figure out why they are afraid of making changes that would improve their lives and improve the country.

Find the truth, be rational, and expose the lies and manipulations.
