“Sock The Vote,” by Ryan Anderson
 October 26th 2005
I’ve
been fuming over this for a while now. But when I saw Paris Hilton in
a magazine ad for the “rock the vote” campaign…I blew it. Paris Hilton
knows as much about the democratic process as Donald Trump knows about
hair styling. Why is she telling me to vote? What does she know?
Well the truth is MTV’s “Rock the vote” is helping young people vote.
The bad thing about it is that it’s all slanted to the left. That’s
not right (no pun intended). If you’re going to try and interest young
people in politics…you can’t bias it. It’s the one thing that shouldn’t
be partisan. The kids are going to get enough of the liberal media when
they grow up…why feed it to them now?
P-diddy, the famous…uh…rap “star”, heads this up. He can be seen wearing
his “vote or die” t-shirt all over the place. It’s nice and all that
P-diddy thinks people who don’t vote should die… but what does he know
about the issues? What does he know about the candidates? Sure he was
seen at the debates…but that was just to stroke his ego. It’s the same
reason why Michael Moore was at the debates. I just want to see diddy
or Paris Hilton get asked about partial birth abortion or gay marriage.
Well wait…no I don’t. Let me make my predictions: Diddy’s stance on
Gay Marriage is “he’s down with it” while Paris’ is “That’s hot”. I’m
sure it’ll be something like that, anyway.
So here we have rock the vote not portraying the president as a strong
leader, but more of a guy who’s made big mistakes. Kerry is portrayed
as some kind of super hero who will fix them. Of course it’s all done
discretely. But there’s no reason a show getting the next generation
interested in politics should be partisan. It should be fair and balanced
(sound familiar?).
I’m not sure what it’ll take. Maybe Bill O’Reilly,
who’s already written a children’s book, could do another but focused
on politics. Maybe a celebrity who’d give it to you right
between the eyes could host a “rock the vote type show”…as long as it’s
not slanted. That has to stop.
So far the media hasn’t really gotten it through their heads…Bush isn’t
the devil. Kerry isn’t the devil, but as we know the propaganda from
the left outweighs the propaganda from the right. I’m not suggesting
that Rush Limbaugh start another type of show to slant to the right.
What I am saying is that if MTV is going to show Moore’s side of view…why
not show Anne Coulter’s or something? Could it hurt them? No. So why
don’t they? Most of the media doesn’t care. They’re not committed to
giving us unbiased news. Watch out for the young generation…because
they’re getting as much of a leftie view from a show aimed at their
age group as most are from the networks.
It’s not going to stop until we say something. The people need to
stand up and demand the truth.
