Petty Lapel Pin Question

[denuseri]

Shrugs all i was doing was trying to answer his orginal questions about why they mention the lapel pin when dealing with Obama and not with McCain.

The media has allways given a free ride approach to the democrates whenever possible, but the thing is what it is "a hungry beast that feeds on money" and ratings mean money so if it cuases viewer ship it is used reguardless of ethical consequences in too many cases.

I am quite certian my remarks where only about the reason for the mentioning of the pin and I hope no one takes what i have said out of context.

The tactics used in politics in the united states are greatly a direct result of how the media functions.

To simplify things to thier basest components, Obama has yet to prove his patriotism, where as Mc Cain allready has on numerous occassions.

Also a note about Keneddy who may have been inexperienced in the legislature, he was however so rich he robbed the nomination away from humphry and he also served BTW in the military. So his own patriatism wasnt in question eaither at the time. As for no one thinking he could win, thats a subjective opinion and as historical consensus follows he is a prime example of how the media influences an election. Since his victory was ascribed directly to his media appeal.

The media sucks. I miss Uncle Walter (Cronkite) -- he worked hard to make sure his personal opinions didn't color the news.
