Why campaign coverage sucks
Horse-race journalism works for journalists and fails the public.
By Jay Rosen [2008-01-21]

  • Who "won"

    Since the Democrats use a proportional system for getting delegates, who "won" by a few points is meaningless. As I see it, the two leading Democratic candidates are approximately tied. The Republicans use a winner take all system so who won does become important. The media just has to report who "won".
