Media whores: Candidate not talking about the issues????
(Sorry for the extra ? marks, Skinner, but they're warranted). What's with this? My guess is, they right-wing whores cannot support the resident, as he clearly has not mentioned one single issue except how much he hates Kerry, but it seems to me ALL Kerry has been talking about is issues: Health care, Iraq, eduacation, etc. Bush only attacks Kerry. This has come up several times in the last hour on CNN. "Do you think this is the worst campaign in history?" Lou Dobbs just said not really, but what bothered him is that NEITHER of the candidates will talk about the issues that are so important to America.

I know I'm biased, but WTF? Bush says nothing but jokes about Kerry, while Kerry tries to get Bush to address issues...it seems to me it is all the Media Whores have left, but I ain't buyin'!

1. I couldn't agree more
The media doesn't talk about issues. I think both candidates talk about issues - Kerry in a much more substantial way. Cable media is lazy - it's easier to have spin masters do battle than do enough research to ask tough questions.

Chris Heinz talked about this issue at Carnegie Mellon in September. Here is a link to the video for those that are interested.
