I’ve never voted for a Republican, and I am having a hard time getting excited about Obama. The media is fueling some of that lack of excitement. They love to show Obama with some sort of halo around his head. I do not believe him to be the Messiah or a saint.
I also got so tired of the depiction of Hillary as a bumpkin from Arkansas. She is not a bumpkin nor is she from Arkansas. If they were not doing that, they were painting her as a shrewish old woman.
Obviously, he has managed to woo the media and Clinton has managed to alienate them. Or maybe it is as Paul Krugman suggests, racism is declining, but not misogyny.
I really wonder if having news 24×7 on multiple medias is really doing us a service. Especially when they use such broad strokes.
Number 5 has been used in a multitude of news stories.
And now Michelle…
And the broad strokes to paint the Clintons as hillbillies. Well I know hillbillies and they are not hillbillies…to paraphrase someone.
