I was a proud democrat until the primaries when Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, David Schuster,Dick Gregory took a decisely turn to the far left and almost destroyed Hillary's candidacy.
I then turned to FoxNews which I had never watched before.There I found, to my surprise, a definitely more balanced reporting of Hillary etc.. Once and avid follower of Matthews and Olbermann, I never watched them anymore. Since the Democratic Party abandoned Hillary who was by far the strongest candidate and the media following the far left, I am no longer a democrat and will be voting for McCain. The extremism of MSNBC which culminated by giving Rachel Maddox a show is the ultimate in partisan journalism. The NYTimes" Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd have also accomplished their goal. Their demented articles about Hillary Clinton also helped nominate Barack Obama. I also cancelled my subscription to NYTimes, The Nation and Vanity Fair.It's a shame that the media is the one helping people to make their decisions in elections.
