The Day After

Now that the Democratic primary season is over, the media is desperately in search of the next story line. Unfortunately, here's a sign of the fair and balanced things to come, all oriented towards making this the least informed electorate yet. I'm almost frightened to think of just how little role the real and important differences between the candidates will play in the election.

I'm not picking on FOX for ignoring the 9/11 ad issue. Quite the contrary, I actually think it's a pretty silly story the others are running. But those are going to be our choices for the next 8 months. We can read dumbed-down stories brimming with hostility, fluff pieces ignoring real flaws, or nothing at all. This is just my way of paying homage to the biased, low brow coverage we can expect from media all over the spectrum. Here's to the circus show of tangents and irrelevancies that make up the presidential campaign season.
