Many in the media (CBS, NBC and so on) are asking the question of "why have the conventions changed from a "knock down drag em' out fight for the nomination" to more of a coronation with predetermined outcome. The suggestion is that there is less credibility to the conventions as a result (particularly the Republican convention).
The media (CBS, CNN, ABC and so on) already know the answer to this question. I'm here to highlight and tell you that the change in convention format from how it used to be in the old days is the result of our liberally biased media and the response of our political parties to that media. The political parties have considered and understand the control the media has over the American people. The political parties have taken the fact of media control over the American people into account and it has guided the shape and conduct of the conventions.
The platform of either party HAS TO BE CAREFULLY SCRIPTED or the liberal media will rip them a new one. You had better tow the media line or you will be destroyed. You either tow a certain line or you're going to be destroyed as a candidate or a party. Should a candidate take a position on an issue contrary to the wishes or desires of the media, that media will tear the candidate down and destroy him or her.
Why not just let the candidates issues stand on their own merit? Why not just report the facts or let a candidates stand on the issues as he or she expresses them? Why not let issues stand without media bias or commentary? Because that might go against the social engineering as espoused by that media.
For example, what do you think the media would do to a candidate that promoted a no compomise stand on the second amendment?? What do you think the media would do a candidate who promoted a limitation on immigration or a anti homosexual stand?? I'll tell you what they would do....they would destroy that candidate in any manner they could. You will never see the candidates stand up and loudly pronounce that homosexuals have no place in our society. They would be destroyed by the media.
The conventions have changed in order to adapt to our modern, liberal media culture. I don't subscribe to the media's promotion of a reprobate, deviant culture. I see the effect it has had on America and I don't like it. I see the media and it's promotion of homosexuality and a deviate society as harmfull to America, I resent the fact that it is the media alone who decides what is allowed to be spoken to the American people. I resent that they regularly refuse to allow the average American to express his or her views and then let it stand on its own merit. They control what it is that the American people can hear or see and thus they have control over the shaping of their views. Do you think that pro gun views will ever be presented in a favorable light? Do you think that limited immigration will ever be presented in a favorable light? Do you think that patriotism (another word for nationalizm) will ever be presented in a favorable light? Can you see how free speech to the American people is reseved only for those who own and control a media outlet like CBS, CNN, ABC? Can you see that, you, as an individual, do not really have free speech as the media will supress your views in favor of their own? Can you see how the political parties manipulate their conventions in order to gain a favorable response from the media? Well!!! What about the views of the people?? How about a new law that allows the expression of free speech by the American people and not just those views as expressed by those few, filthy rich media moguls who have control over what the American people hear and see?
PLEEESSE, Don't tell me that you can express your views to the American people and that you have free speech. The only effective free speech you have is what the media will allow you to have! Maybe the Internet will change that but don't count on it. There are already moves to counter its effectiveness.
