The study, conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ), examined 18,010 stories that appeared between April 1 and June 29. Its News Coverage Index (NCI) encompasses 48 outlets, including newspapers, radio, online, cable and network television. The project is a research group studying and evaluating press performance. The Project for Excellence in Journalism describes itself as nonpartisan, nonideological and nonpolitical. The index is designed as an audit of a broad cross-section of the US news media.
I've notice here in Washington DC since the Democrats took office last October media coverage on the war in Iraq has been on a steady decline. Is it due to the campaign, our economy or the sudden continual faulty products from China.
Or is it that the media downplay will have us ignore the death and destruction on both sides in this War In Iraq and the media.
Hilary C. talks about how she'll leave the troops in Iraq, she's just Bush dressed in Drag!

The only hope to make any changes are the underdog candidates like Ron Paul. I would say Kucinich, or Gravel, but it's just splitting the electoral mindset and spreading out the votes for a potential loss. The momentum seems to be with Ron Paul, if you're going for that "direction" cut your losses and keep the momentum flowing. It has to be united.
I can't believe the pressure he's willing to go under to become president. If he gets elected...afterward...oh man. The stress will be insane.
It's the blue or red pill approach. Peace or War.
What is important? That's what it has come down to now. If you think war is necessary and want to fight it in the middle east , until we all explode in a mushroom cloud...vote mainstream. If not Vote Paul. WW3 is knocking at the door, and right now the US wants to kick it down guns ablazing....bad idea I think.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
