Public Believe Media Hurting Palin

According to a recent Rassmussen poll report, the American public 10 to 1 believes that the media is biasly and prejudicely attacing Palin to hurt her politically. 24% of US voters said that these reports make them want to vote for McCain.

For Republicans it is 80 to 6 percent, for Democrats its 28 to 4 percent, and unaffiliated voters are 49 to 5 percent all believing that the media is attacking Palin. Only 5% of the public believed that the media was trying to help Palin.

This just goes to show that the public is not as stupid as the media believes it to be and will not buy into everything they feed them. It also shows that the media could really shoot Obama in the foot politically. If you scour the comments on most news websites, you will find several people upset with the media establishment. More and more people are getting frustrated with how bias, tasteless, and shallow the news is becoming. The public is noticing and I think that if the news doesn’t pick up on this and soon, they could seriously hurt their credibility. Too often does America gun for the underdog, especially if they notice something foul in the information they have been fed by the media.

Happy Birthday, Google!

Today is the 10th birthday of the world’s most popular search engine- Google! Started from a thesis from two students at Stanford University, Google was the product of a new way to rank searches. The result was a company that became a household name and a word that became the new “search”.

Located in Mountain Valley, California, Google’s market cap is $142 billion dollars and employs over 19,000 people. It continues to innovate the internet market with its applications and services that it provides and just recently released a beta version of its new web browser, Chrome.

Google is a great example of a small idea growing to something ridiculously successful. It will be great to see what they have in store for us the next ten years, but for now I wish them a Happy Birthday!
