Get This Election Over Already

If you're still trying to figure out who to vote for November 4th, don't turn to the cable news channels to get the information that'll help you decide. One thing I've noticed throughout all this political season is everyone has an agenda. I'm tired of hear from both the democratic and republican strategist. it's a total joke. You already know what they're going to say, and which side of the issues they stand on before they even open their mouth. Their blind support of their candidate is disgusting.
On MSNBC there's no doubt you're going to get the pro-Obama spin. From Keith Olberman to Chris Matthews and most their guests you know they are rooting for Obama. The same can be said about Fox News. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly and most of their guests lean right. What happened to objectivity in the news business? Everyone is trying to get out their talking points.
It's hard to get an unbiased opinion on either candidate and for undecided voters that has to be frustrating.
If you're trying to come up with an informed opinion on either candidate, cable news is not the way to go. All you'll get is democrats and republicans spinning lies and taking shots at the other party. Instead of of listening to all these pundits I'm listening to the candidates. What they say and how they say it. Then I'm doing my own research. That's the only way you'll get through all the b.s. the cable networks are feeding you.

I can't watch 24-hour news at all any more. I had a "Daily Show" page-a-day calendar. On my birthday, June 1, here's the entry (I saved it):
"June 1, 1980 -- CNN. Ted Turner launches 24-hour news network. People doubt there will be enough news to fill 24 hours. People are right."
Only six more days!
I wish I could get in a time machine and go forward. I'd be willing to shave six days off my life if it meant I didn't have to see any more of this crap, or any more lame ass commercials.
