Yes Please Get Over Big Bird Already


In my classmate, Antonio Barletta’s post Get Over Big Bird Already, he points out a couple of key misconceptions about Conservatives. Most Democrats paint republicans as “evil, white [and] not in touch with poor black Americans.” When in reality most Conservatives don’t care about someone’s sex, race, or gender. They care if someone is working and providing for themselves or if they are just living off taxpayer dollars that Conservatives worked hard for and earned. Liberals are the ones centered on racism. They are constantly focused on those markers but they try and pin conservatives as the racist ones.
            He also brings up the fact that Blow’s true intent behind his column was to try and smear Mitt Romney’s campaign as much as possible and win votes for Barack Obama. This just goes to show how many left-winged people there are in media. Most of the media channels and news outlets are pushing a liberal agenda. Trying to get a straight answer or real facts from the media these days is hard to do. Mitt Romney’s statement about cutting funding to PBS was taken extremely far out of context. People claim to want to reduce the debt and cut spending but when the idea of cutting programs is brought up claws come out.
            By painting this picture of Romney as a Big Bird hater, liberals were hoping to persuade voters against voting for him in the elections. By pushing their agenda in media, they know people will see that and not do the research for themselves to find out the real facts and just believe whatever they see. I wish America could see through all the smoke the liberals are blowing.
