33. These people need to retake civics 101
Probably it is an intentional political hit piece, but there is another equally sick theory for this crap. News as entertainment. Keep everything light and lovely, mix in Hollywood and pop culture, come up with some new clever metaphor. Sometimes I think clever metaphors drive the actual reporting. First find a hook, then write coverage around it. It really is unforgivable. This is about electing the next President of the United States. The latest sport is kick Dean while he's down, and cover Clark if at all as an eccentric side show.
