I’ve already commented on this in another thread, but you might as well provide links to Madonna and her opinion on McCain, as she has an agenda to push almost as much as the Rolling Stone.

I thought the Rolling Stone magazine, was a music publication??

I guess not…

People laugh at the National Enquirer but they have reported the stories on politicians lately that the “main stream media” have apparently been afraid of.  So it isn’t main stream, that doesn’t make it illegitimate.  It does however give John McCain supporters an out.

The media is as biased as any individual.  They write and submit articles to buttress their preconceived beliefs.  People on each side of an issue will often turn to the Bible and ‘cherry pick’, passages to support their position.  That is what the writer has done in this Rolling Stone article.

This is a nonissue, and only reflects the author.

Bias does not always negate the facts.  In some instances, I think it can but not always.  Foxnews is far right but I think there are political stories of value.  Bias does not eliminate the importance or necessarily prove the story false.  If we were to say all are biased then why bother reading at all.  Lets just close our eyes and choose; then hope for the best.

Let’s look at voting records and experience and decide who is best.
