I'm feeling the same way. It's like I'm in bizarro world.
The coverage was about values? I thought it was about the Iraq War (from Abu Ghraib to "missing" explosives to no WMDs), and the "bad" economy (from outsourcing to "millions of lost jobs" to "tax cuts for the rich").
I heard very little about samesex marriage (after the SF and Massachusetts brouhaha calmed down months ago), NOTHING about abortion, NOTHING about family values, etc. The media didn't cover any of these things.
How can they say that they focused too much on values?
