"With Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee all making moves indicating they may run for president, their common employer is facing a question that hasn’t been asked before: How does a news organization cover White House hopefuls when so many are on the payroll?" (Martin, Hagey). This is a good question how does a organization such as Fox cover there potential candidates? The answer is difficult to answer however after analyzing the article "Fox primary: complicated, contractual" by Martin and Hagey one is led to believe that within the networks there are divisions and rivals. Within each network there are "ownnews division[s]" these divisions compete to show off their candidate the best within the network. They do this by spending lots of money and presenting the candidate as best as possible. To make it in politics today you need a lot of money. Sadly it is true, but in order to get your voice out there you must be able to some how air your opinions. One thing I can say I truly dislike about America today is how we vote for the president, there are electoral votes (which truly elect the president) and then there are our "popular votes" which do nothing to elect the president. This irritates me because they say go vote! However our votes do not count. As a country we should not have electoral votes at all. Only popular votes. I feel like there are many flaws in America but I still love this country. So its our jobs to fix these problems and vote. I say next presidential election DO NOT VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN> Instead vote for a THIRD PARTY! Lets bring a little more balance to this democracy. I am not always in favor of either of these parties most of the time.
