The problem with mainstream reporters is that most of them treat elections like horse races. They rarely if ever discuss the political and moral aspects of the issues. It drives me crazy even when conservative voices, Hannity etal, start doing the horse race thing. Of course the main problem with mainstream reporters is that being mostly liberals, they’re almost completely uninterested in discussing issues. They prefer to dwell on superficialities. Discussing issues would make the electorate slightly more able to fairly evaluate the candidates.
They rarely discuss issues...maybe because of money. Will people leave the TV on if real issues are discussed or only if they can hear about Cyrus. Does the majority of the American public have a TV star mentality? What about the high paid sports stars? Have any of the gossip newspapers gone under? Maybe someone should start a DC or political gossip paper and slip in an issue or two to educate them.
Do people even watch the news? I don’t, but I only get ABC. I can read faster than people talk.
Well said. The Lame Stream Media acts as a information prison for the lawmakers. It is this media bias that has been at work for decades. It allows coverage of a very controlled set of information which isolates the lawmakers from the complete picture. This control enables the LSM to accomplish the agenda.
