here's a blurb that illustrates how the media can manipulate events however they want. essentially, they took an interview in which the DNC chair, McAuliffe, was discussing some of the candidates, and being very careful to be fair to them all, and made it sound like he was promoting John Kerry. This is the kind of irresponsible shit we all hate so much. I understand that the media is a big part of politics, and that to win in politics, media savviness is a game you have to play (Dean's major failing), but you should not, EVER, have to worry about wether the media will completely distort the intent of your words. It's criminal, or it should be... Daily Kos || How the press distorts. McAuliffe edition |
