Time remaining (Days Hr:Min:Sec)

Dear Mr. President,

I am truly honored that you chose to take time out of your busy busy schedule to read my e-mail. I am not yet old enough to vote, but I follow politics and read many political books. I would be greatly honored if you could lend some of you time, and energy to answer a few simple questions. One of my questions is about the media. As the President, you have the power to ultimately control the country. Many high offices in your administration and so of your strong follower have expressed concern about the medias liberal bias. Now I may be mistaken, but wouldn't that mean that the news and newspapers and news magazines lean mainly to the left and away from you and your ideas? Listening to the TV news (FOX as well as CNN, NBC, and ABC) found that the majority of the media is very much in agreement with your administration, so much to the point that the featured guests are all far from this "liberal bias." Magazines such as NEWSWEEK and TIME also seem to support you enough to twist facts in your favor. This confused me because you and your supports seemed so sure of this "liberal bias" that is had to be true. So I sat at this very computer where I am now typing this e-mail and I did some homework. What I found was quite a shock. It turned out that the large majority os these news stations were owned by two or three people. I was no stranger to that power pyramid, but I still had that patriotic hope that at least my news came from many different sources, giving me the whole picture. Upon further reading, I discovered that most of these corporate overlords were not left-leaning at all, and actually very much RIGHT. Mr. President, with all due respect, I feel it is immoral and also very un-American to have such a small range of sources from which to get news and is the circle is small, it should at least be politically balanced. I would very much like to hear your view on this monopoly before the november elections.

My other question has to do with Iraq. I have no doubt you get countless e-mails both praising and criticizing this war. My letter is one mixing the two. First and foremost, I congratulate you and thank you for ridding the world of an evil man. Saddam was a bad man and anyone who says otherwise is defiantly off. My problem is HOW and WHEN you chose to get him. You and your administration told a lot of lie to start this war on justify it. I would be pleased if you would admit it now that it has become apparent to at least part of the country. It troubles me to know every morning when I get up for school that my government will not even admit to a lie. President Clinton also lied, as you know very well. His lie was not nearly as troubling because whether or not he had slept with Ms. Lewinsky had and still has no effect on the American people. With all due respect, the lies you told where much worse and costed many young people from around the world their lives. One of these lies got the lier impeached. The other president got the war and still has not told the people that he lied. There is nothing anyone can do now to bring back all those innocent people, but we can let their families know the truth about why they lost a sister, brother, cousin, uncle, aunt, father, or mother, and a friend. Maybe America should know also because they are paying for the war. My family may not be physically in Iraq, but I know that our tax money is. This is the same for most of America, but sadly most of them no not why their money is being used in Iraq, and why their family and friends are dying. Mr. Bush, you and I both know that there are no weapons of mass distruction in Iraq, and the only chemical and biological weapons that were ever there, were give to Saddam by the US of A. All of those such weapons are now gone.

Very curious
