It's media events like these that delivered Bush to America. The mainstream media (MSM) is broken. The corporations that own the MSM do no want serious debate about real issues. Certainly not when those issues would negatively affect their profits.
Think the for-profit health insurance industry wants a real discussion about healthcare reform? Would the pharmaceutical companies want an intelligent, fact-based debate about the reasons the government should not negotiate drug prices?
Pretty damning indictment of the shallowness of discourse encouraged by the mainstream media. Both Republicans and Democrats should be outraged by this.
This is not about picking the next winner of "American Idol." This is about choosing the next leader of the free world. If the so-called Fourth Estate can't take it seriously, how can they possibly expect American voters to do the same?? It boggles the mind.
