With less than a month to go, what issues do you want the media to cover?
This is not a poll; it's a free-for-all!

Let's hear it DU, what issues should the media be concentrating on?

I'll start: McCain's medical records.

Why isn't the GOP-controlled media asking about McCain's health and the consequences of not knowing how ill he is if he were to be elected.

(Please, please, please kick and rec so we can give these issues some attention on DU's greatest page! Thank you!)

1. The genetic modification of plants.
It hasn't been discussed at all as a campaign issue, as far as I know.

I don't want pharmaceuticals grown in genetically-modified corn. The trait can spread to corn which will be used as food.

If someone with low-blood pressure unintentionally consumes a pharmaceutical which lowers blood pressure by eating food, then he may die.

That is a risk of using genetically-modified food-crops to make pharmaceuticals.

2. KEATING 5!!
Not only does it reflect poorly on his integrity, but he has continued to make the same kind of mistakes.
He has never seen a deregulation scheme he doesn't like.

What good is all his experience if he never learns anything from it??

6. Palin's ties to Armageddon beliefs
and her whole Church thing, Witch Hunter minister, etc....

And her College education or lack thereof. I don't care, it is important.Just like anyone applying for a job, her resume wouldn't even get her an interview.

8. She might be indicted before the election. It seems while the bully is
out of town, her "underlings" are getting bold and getting even.

7. Alaska Independence Party has hardly been metioned in the commercial media
seems like thats a much more recent and relevant association than Obama knowing some 1960s radical when he was 8.
