Take A Break From On-Air Media Outlets
In this media dominated world, it is often unusual to hear people say they do not watch or listen to the news and other media related sources. But, on second thought, it is not difficult to understand why they would tune out - especially during a Presidential election season. During this season, people can easily become overwhelmed with the constant bombardment of coverage from reporters and also exhausted by a flood of speculations from the unknown who are labelled as "political analysts". Listening to the biases that permeates the news airways, watching political ads that are sponsored to defile the other party candidate's reputation, and tuning in to the non-stop coverage of unpolitically correct behavior of the candidates can become for many a turn off. The media has further added to the charade by inundating the airways with only the brief words from a candidate's entire speech that will cause a stir in voters' outrage and more favorably will generate an engaging topic of discussion for the media's news talk progams. Furthermore, the emphasis of the media personalilties on focusing on polls that are predominently geared towards airing the views of one race of voters while eliminating the opinions of other races of voters adds to the barage of biases fed to the public. So, with bated breath, some have begun to count down the months, days, hours as they look forward to a speedy end to the media's coverage of the presidential campaigning. This joyous occasion in November will allow people to go back to watching news related programs that promote the discussions of diverse topics that will engage a variety of personal views.
