Fuck the voters, it's all about the narrative:
Speaking of McCain and the media, I was at a dinner tonight with various political reporters who are up here to cover the happenings, and it was pretty funny how giddy/relieved they were at the prospect of a McCain-Obama general election campaign, as opposed to, say, a Romney-Clinton one. Suddenly, the next 11 months of their lives look a whole lot more enjoyable.
Again, the word for it is corruption. This doesn't compare to FDR or JFK, by the way. Print media, which was dominant then, doesn't compare at all to the electronic one in addition to print today.
