We Need To Do Our Own Research On Our Candidates: We Can't Rely On Main Stream Media (MSM)

Submitted by WeroInNM (United States), Oct 22, 2008 at 09:52

As a registered Democrat. I didn't really know enough about Sen. Obama to make an educated decision as to why I should cast my vote for him, which lead me to conduct my own research to find out more about who he really was, where he came from and, even more important, what he stands for. I conducted my own research because I have little or no faith in our Main Stream Media (MSM)....What A Shame! After reading the following Amazon.Com Editorial Review and numerous other resources, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my vote, I became concerned about casting my vote for him.
