Not because of these polls, but as a protest to the unbalanced way the media reporting has become...

If you do cancel your subscriptions, give a reason. Hit them where it hurts.

Remember how CBS removed the mini-series on Reagen because threats from the right-wing?

4. exactly
I don't know why some give Newsweak a pass. Owned by the Washington Post -- no longer a Democratic paper, just recall all the headlining Whitewater and Monica crap during the Clinton years -- Newsweak is increasingly showing an anti-d/Democratic bias.

I told them all why at the time and don't miss the clutter -- literally and figuratively -- at all.
