I'm assuming everyone who is an interactive member of society (this includes breathing) or at least has access to some type of news source is aware that America now has a brand new stimulus bill, courtesy of President Barack Obama. The Democrats won yet another war within the borders of our country, and that is what is most interesting to me--that it was a war. It appeared to me the more President Obama begged for bipartisanship the more separated Washington became, and I blame the media for that. Although it shouldn’t have been a shocker when one party gave the bill a big thumbs up and the other a big thumbs down, the media's coverage of this stimulus battle totally over-hyped the process. They made it into a soap opera drama that fueled both parties, Republicans and Democrats, and over-analyzed both arguments of this bill. Congratulations American media! Once again you have managed to manipulate an important governmental procedure and twist it just to get your own version. On the other hand, this is inevitable in the long run because the media is really the only eyes we have to see into Washington. I guess we'll just have to learn how to pick through the garbage to get to the goods without being influenced by the smell....
>>Stimulus bill a sorry spectacle
