The elections have come and gone... the final certification of votes has ruled that there will be a new president - not a second term for the previous president. But things are still up in the air, even after a demonstration that became riotous. There are actually four sides contending - not the two you may have supposed. We have:
1 - The candidate who won, whose party stands with him,
2 - The candidate who lost but claims he won, along with those of his party who stand by him,
3 - Those of the losing party who have been left in limbo as they now support neither one nor the other party
4 - The media, who report events so subjectively that there is no way to see the real truth of the situation!
The lack of objectivity in how events are reported - at least politically speaking - has gotten to the point where I'm afraid it's actually affecting future possibilities for reuniting the country.
Winning and losing are not the main issues here... I'd like to know what has happened to objective journalism?
Listening to Ted Koppel explain - in a video that was recorded over a year ago - gives me peace of mind. Someone understands exactly how I feel!
