32. Well, objective media studies show quite clearly a lack of coverage
Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 10:35 PM by depakid
And the reasons for that are OBVIOUS to anyone who's been cognizant the past 15 years.

That said, it was a gamble to put so much effort into Iowa. And he handed his opponents a lot of gratuitous ammunition early on with the haircut, house and hedge fund. Not to mention his Senate voting record.

Unfortunately, image is more important than issues; American politics is about perception- which these days is more like American Idol, horseracing and fundraising than what the candidate actually proposes to do for the country.

Which of course brings us back to the corporate media once again- the entity that bears by far the lion's share of blame for the sorry state America finds itself in.
