A democracy is only as good as the people who vote. The people who vote in this country are incredibly ignorant and stupid.

DR is right on here.

Are you including yourself in your analysis?
Some people but not the majority, IMO.

TV news sucks. It's all controlled by the advertisers and one of the 2 or 3 conglomerate media corporations.

Get your news from the internet - but check the facts and references for everything you read - and listen to NPR. That's my advice.

You know, I was thinking this morning that television has really changed the type of candidates that we get. I don't think it's any coincidence that in this election we have two younger, fit, attractive candidates; people that look good during the 24-hour news cycle.

I was wondering today if there's not some overweight balding guy that would be a great president, but could never get elected because of his appearance. Maybe, TV and the 24-hour news cycle has left us with spokesmodels, who repeat focus group tested talking points.

Totally agree. Ask yourself if we would have elected a wheelchair bound FDR if he was running today...

That is why Ron Paul and Dennis Kukunich never had a chance.

Why even bother with any? You can find video on the internet and come to your own conclusion.

The TV people are like ESPN, they won't tell you that you couldn't find within 5 seconds on the net.

I don't have a problem with Keith Olbermann doing his "Countdown" show. What I object to was having this guy ANCHOR election coverage. WhoTF had that brilliant idea? Oh well, don't have to worry about it anymore.


Also, anyone else ever notice that Olbermann never has anyone on his show that disagrees with him? He doesn't ever have to debate anyone. The only argument he ever got into was with Chris Mathhews about which of them had a bigger boner for Obama.
