Has anybody seen the show Scarborough Country on MSNBC?
I really dislike the host, an arrogant member of the GOP. The only news he "reports" on is about how there is a Liberal bias in the media and how everything President Bush does is right.
I may be a bleeding heart Liberal, but I don't think that there is any room on television for such a publicly bias television show.
As an example, last night (July 31st) he discussed the possibility of same-sex marriages and if one state has the right to push its laws on the topic upon other states.
I personally believe that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to legally wed as I have seen some very supportive and constructive family units with two moms or two dads and I believe they should have Federal support in order to help them raise their families.
Under the full faith and credit laws in the constitution, if a couple is legally married in New Hampshire, then by law their marriage has to be accepted in all other 49 states. I don't know if Scarborough was aware of this fact or not, he made it out that if a law is passed in one state, then it must be passed in all other states, which is very much not the case.
Joe's coverage of this issue was not only biased, it was incorrect and, in my opinion, deconstructive because it presented his personal beliefs over the facts. He damaged the public in not reporting the truth and thus helped spread ignorance.
What are your opinions on media bias and homosexual marriage?
