Anyone else feel the media is turning the Clinton/Obama race into a sleazy Tabloid news frenzy?

Question

They are the first topic every news outlet, daytime news talk shows and local news covers with their every last words or actions.

I almost at this point wish Brittany would s***w up big time again, or where is OJ when you need em'?

Answer 1

we talk about this in my journalism class, i think the real news is disappearing because people seem to be more interested in scandals, which is very sad..

Answer 2

I'm sick of hearing about it. I can't wait for this presidental garbage to be over with... they really grind it in our heads. Plus I think the media tries to point people to who they want to win.

Answer 3

It's good stuff. If they didn't have this then work would really be boring.

Answer 4

Yeah I don't watch mainstream media anymore, it's all run by the government anyway.

Answer 5

I have never heard so much on presidential candidates in my life.  I can't wait until it over!

Answer 6

I read an article somewhere that they account for something like 38% of all news coverage. The article went on to say that it can be difficult for local politicians to become known during presidential campaign years because they can't get covered.

And I agree with you: the coverage is about every little word or gesture. There's not much substantial information to be found.

Answer 7

yes cmon it is for the president not the next American idol or

w/e the ****

we just want a good prez!

Answer 8

well, it is the presidential election that's finally getting bush's *** out of office

Answer 9

Well it's not like they don't have reason too.

I think the upcoming election will have a bigger effect on the country than whether or not Brittany has finally lost it.

Do I approve of how some of the news it portrayed?

No.

But it's TV.

That's what they do for a living.
