Warning: small rant ahead

I occasionally get really aggravated with how Republicans are portrayed in national news. Ok, let me be more honest. I very often get aggravated at this. In fact, there are certain shows that I cannot even stomach 5 minutes of anymore (like The View… poor Elizabeth). When Katie Couric left the Today Show I got really nervous of who would be her replacement. She had liberal views, but she managed to keep everything balanced in interviews and on show segments most of the time.

Enter Meredith Viera… her extreme liberal viewpoints coupled with her partnership with Matt Lauer have caused me to grow to hate the show I have watched ever since I can remember. But it’s not all their fault- the shows producers and writers bring on a constant barrage of left-wingers to bash Republicans. It’s pretty much a daily thing. I don’t have a problem with Democrats. I really don’t. I just want Republicans to be represented equally and fairly.

I just think it’s pretty bad when you’re doing a segment and bring on two people to discuss it and they both bash Republicans for 5 minutes. How about you bring on two people with different thoughts and have them duke it out instead? If the shoe was on the other foot and the right-wingers bashed the left-wingers all the time, there would be such a media outcry. I got so disgusted this morning that I was forced to begin a boycott of the Today Show. Hope Good Morning America proves to be a little better.
