We had to live through both Gore and Kerry to develop the ABILITY to ignore the MSM

Polls, MoDo, Dana Milbank, McCain pathetic ads, Katie Couric, Defend Your Life versions of MTP, Hannity, Limbaugh, Corsi . . .

Who cares? They have made themselves irrelevant to this election. They lie or showboat to benefit themselves. Enough of us have witnessed this enough times to recognize this time around.

Just don't care. They are boring. They have done this before. Same old, same old. Don't trust the Dem. Don't trust the Dem.

Yeah, right.

Don't trust the media. Don't trust the media. Don't trust the media.

2. I worry, too

BUT I do notice that the evening news is FILLED with commercials for Avodart and Flomax and other fine pharmaceuticals for aging baby boomers.

Younger voters don't WATCH msm or read newspapers. They get their info from "the internets." They use "the Google." (RNC leaders don't appear to be quite so savvy in those areas.)

If they do watch TV, they watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert ... and they get the jokes, so they get the picture. I'm hopeful.

Keith Olbermann was #1 recently in the 18-34 demographic during his hour for cable news.
