70. MSM too lazy

to set the agenda. That would take some intelligence and energy so they set their sights on blowhards and bs'rs like McCain, knowing what his response will be to certain questions on certain topics. Like manipulating the puppet strings. Meanwhile the real important issues are ignored because they may have less entertainment value and may tend towards the boring.The question is what the purpose of the MSM is, and if they're just entertainers what educates the electorate.
