The problem with political coverage is real .. and yet, mainstream media happily ignores how poor a job they do. The American pubic is NOT stupid - how about treating us with some respect? Is it possible to have actual jounalists report on things that matter - or is politics doomed to be just a variation on "Entertaiment tonight"
During the PA debate last night the game that politics has become was so in evidence that it made me want to again turn away from the process. Oh no, says Senator Clinton - it's not ME .. it's that I have been in this caludron for 16 years and I can take it and dish it out just like those evil republicans will do in the general election. Oh please, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PROCESS. Americans are totally sick and tired of being treated like children - we have brains, respect that and stop being jerks within the process - stop trying to distract us with endless focus on gaffes - or for goodness sake now this morning "news" breaks on something Hillary said in 1995. I personally really enjoyed Senator Obama nailing George (Who was a HORRID moderator - this man is in no way a journallist!) with (paraphrasing) how can I be held to acount for something that happend 40 years ago WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD ! Can we move to ISSUES that matter and STOP this -Please!
