Election 2012 and the Media: A Vast Rightwing Conspiracy of Stupid | Common Dreams

Election 2012 and the Media: A Vast Rightwing Conspiracy of Stupid | Common Dreams:

"The reason I write so little about the presidential election is that it's the ultimate expression of the CNN-ization of American politics: a tawdry, uber-contrived reality show that has less to do with political reality than the average rant one hears at any randomly chosen corner bar or family dinner. That does not mean the outcome is irrelevant, only that the process is suffocatingly dumb and deceitful, generating the desire to turn away and hope that it's over as quickly as possible."
