In 2008, while America witnessed one of our nation's most exciting
general elections, the American news media was launching its own
political campaign-one that injected spin and bias, in its most
toxic form, into the delivery of almost every story related to the
presidential elections.
Mark Anderson has spent fifteen years serving his country in the
United States Armed Forces and shares his blog entries that
chronologically document the sometimes blatant tactics employed by
the news media during the primary and general elections. Through
his personal observations, Anderson contemplates whether the
outcome of the election was solely the will of the people or in
part a result of the toxic reporting methods employed by the news
media. Anderson also examines how the news media systematically
ostracized Senator Hillary Clinton when Senator Barack Obama
reached "rock star status" during the national elections, how the
focus on John McCain's health and age played a part in his general
elections loss, and how American news media entities successfully
reversed the public's infatuation with then Governor Sarah
Palin.
"In the Tank-A Bound Blog" offers a thoughtful scrutiny of the
American news media industry as a whole during a monumental time in
America's history and encourages lively discussions on how much
political power it now possesses.
