Here is why I detest the way the mass media covers the 2012 Presidential campaign. This data is based on what I see on cable TV while I’m in the kitchen at work (a television is mounted on the wall, always turned on).
Why I detest the way the mass media covers the 2012 Presidential campaign
From Glenn Greenwald: “It’s where the handful of important issues on which there are genuinely sharp and clear differences – social issues, reproductive rights, jurisprudence philosophy, a few social program and tax policies – are endlessly exploited to heighten cultural divisions and, more importantly, to obscure the similarities on everything else. The election year process could and should be a meaningful opportunity for real political debate: the one time every four years when the majority of the population that is too busy or uninterested to pay much attention becomes engaged and thus informed. Instead, the process is the ultimate deceit. And the ultimate distraction.”
