The Economy Matters



The spiraling economy as a whole is on everyone’s mind. The problem for the candidates in this case is how individual states are viewing the issue. If economic problems are more noticeable in a certain area then they might decide it’s time for change. For Obama this means proving that he can get us out of some of this mess as he promised in 2008. For Romney it means focusing and convincing the more populated areas that Obama didn’t do his job; he just added to the problem.  People are seeing a decline in jobs and rise in debt, so Romney has the easier job of pointing out the failures instead of acknowledging the progress that was made in the last four years, and what progress can be made under the same administration.     


 Answers to questions about bias in the media

Bias in the media sometimes is so subtle that it’s too hard to detect. In some cases though it’s quite clear what side the author is on.

For citizens to be informed about their government they have to pay attention to the news, watch the conventions, or they can look up what they want to know online (ex. Google what each party believes in). The thing is that no website will give you 100% fact and absolutely no bias. You have to be aware of bias and be able to separate facts from opinions
