Yes, but you also are mistaken, sir! I am an asian, and lack of satellite TV or watching TV altogether has made me ignorant!

Well the internet is better than television anyway...

Those reports are probably all false, or maybe all but one. Those players are probably all paranoid reporters.

I noticed that the media hit a role with every investigation.

Somehow, I am suspicious of their validity.

Well, we have only one way to find out right now...

Vote: Tendronai

Seriously though, I'm imagining the Colber Repor with the Illuminati report, and its fun as hell.

Any speculation on the Jon Stewart one though? I'm guessing that its either that he didn't send in his action, or that one of each party were taken to be true and he was the odd one out who didn't get to report anybody as anything.

Heck, for all we know, people of the media could be trying to mislead us. As per:

Whatever grabs attention.

Unvote: Zilla
Vote: Tendronai for now, just in case.

I feel like that's "death" for a media persona.

e: Keith Olbermann
Based on that description, it looks like Olbermann is Democrat in nature, so I think we can reliably trust that his information is correct. I don't know why I a democrat would lie about said person being a democrat, unless he just wants support for his party.

You're all following Steven Colbert.

Just to clear up some things here...

Sean Hannity (the reporter who says I'm republican) is a conservative political commentator. From his wikipedia page itself...

Quote:

He has been vocally critical of and has drawn criticism from liberal groups such as Media Matters for America[10]which has contended that Hannity's commentaries are unsupported by facts.[11] In December 2008, the organization awarded Hannity its annual "Misinformer of the Year" Award.[12] The organization cited Hannity as a "prolific and influential purveyor of conservative misinformation," especially relating to the 2008 Presidential campaign of Barack Obama. Hannity responded to the award by creating his own award for Media Matters, which he called the "Left-Wing Obamamania Media Propaganda Sleaze Award," stating it goes to "the group or the person that does more lying and smearing than your average left-wing Obamamania media supporter."

Quote:

In 2005, Fortune included Hannity in the article "25 People We Envy Most (Lucky Hall of Fame Getting Paid to Mouth Off)"

So is nothing else I would be very cautious about believing the media here. At the very least Sean Hannity is nothing but lies and misinformation so I'll be holding off on a vote for Tendronai for a while. I'd suggest everyone look into how reliable those media members are before voting.

Edit: Yeah I know I got the information off of Wikipedia but I'm at work and don't have time to find CNN articles or anything. If someone wants to look in other places to verify the information that'd be great.

The only journalist I know is Jon Steward (Comedy Central), and it seems like he kicked the bucket.
At the moment, my guess is that whoever the Media investigates, they still get the same results, so
Stephen Colbert => Illuminati
Ann Coulter => Libertarian
Keith Olbermann => Democrat
Sean Hannity => Republican
Wonder what would've happened if all 5 were there, though.
With-holding judgment for the moment.
