Hi Garry,
<<A good case in point tonight Ron, was Soledad O'Brian
She's doing a duo with CNN's main pollster, can't think of his name, and he's talking about the number of Republicans and Democrats who during the exit polls told his teams that it was the economy they were most interested in.
So good ol' Soledad, who has a brain about the size of a cashew, says, "But what about race! Let's look at race!">>
Isn't she the worst? If her brain is a cashew, I'd still say that's oversized for her particular intellectual ability. On second thought, it's pretty hard to decide who's the worst, there's so much competition. Still, she is a good example of what's wrong with the media, since she's such a clear distillation of their current "thinking." In a slightly more rational world, anyone who had her as an employee would be horribly embarrassed, but I think the media moguls we have now are somewhere beyond being embarrassed (or ashamed).
--Ron
