Obamamaniacs, Come Out!

Blooger Boogered my first version of this, so I will be more careful this time. Did Fox buy them?

It would appear that the rest of the world doth get the quandary we Americans are all facing, namely that the "BIG NEWS NETWORKS" are getting in the way of the political process. It is embarassing to read comment like this from the Times of London. And it may be high time for the "BIG NETWERRKS" to get the hell out of the way.

Particularly sad is this little snip from the debates last night, where the Anchors being heckled by the audience for their shallow performance.



Here are a few points to consider:

1. There is only a hair's breadth between most major policy viewpoints in Obama and Clinton's campaigns, which is bad for yellow journalism. The dependency on over played minor mistakes in both campaigns has brought the public discourse to a pitiful palaver.
2. National News organizations based on the American concept of ABC, NBC (not MSNBC) and CBS are clinically dead. Since they limit themselves to lowest-common-denominator thinking on what is important to the US voter (which shows you what they think of us hayseeds), they can't be trusted to deliver anything meaningful to the process. I think they should stick to celebrity interviews.
3. ABC news in particular seems to be huckstering for the Clintonistas. Which ain't no big surprise, considering who Stephanopoulos used to work for. But Gibson seems to be doing a clumsy two step to help McCain, the candidate from The Committee to Re-Invade Viet Nam (Sweeeeet, 30 Rock!)
4. Of course, MSNBC is still livin' in Obama-Land, but we'll cut them a break today.
5. And since Hilary isn't making any visible progress in acquiring actual voters, she is taking a page from the book of the Great American Revolutionist, John Reed by essentially telling the American Voter what they ought to think and when to think it. She will acquire all the superdelegates she can through back door maneuvers and co-opt the Democratic nomination process. It is dismaying that she wants to turn the Democratic Party into the Politburo...Can anyone say Trotskyite?
6. All politics is local, so if Hillary gets away with it, she'll be Pillary Clinton in the press forever more. She should really think about this.
