I know I'm too young but...

They did a study of campaign ads and found they were more negative from last time.

and the Wisconsin Advertising Project mentioned in that article had already concluded in 2008 that 2008 was worse than 2004.

However, when Jon Stewart was asking why the Republicans were so vicious towards the President and how the liberals hadn't been that way with Bush, I wanted to call bullshit. Does he not remember how they actually three eggs at the limo during the inauguration? It all seems the same to me except that the access has changed which makes it more dangerous. People with extreme views can finds others like them more easily and Fox news has become the most watched cable network which brings us to another problem. At least in the old days, there was the Fairness Doctrine, you had to see both views to a side and it had to be fair. Now that it's abolished and you have cable, a person could go their whole life only seeing the side they agree with. I find this very dangerous.

Anyway, the real reason I was making a comment was to ask...so did you see Flynn Bloom? The photo's out now.
