Obama, Clinton, Arugula and Mindless Entertainment While Rome Burns - TheCharlieWarnerReport

Guest blogger Michael Weiskopf writesLast Friday Obama fed the media machine a sound bite that they have milked for five days with no immediate end in sightOkay so the talking heads are just doing their jobwhat a commentary on the state of public discourse and the game that politics is Patraeous and Crocker testified last week but that wasn39t where the prime time ratings were nor where the highly charged emotional issues that drive ratings and sadly elections as wellOn the Sunday morning talk shows only Bob Schieffer ignored the Hillary Bosnia Obama elitist story and attempted to have some kind of meaningful discussion with Gates and Pelosi on the warThe question of whether Obama peaked too early or whether his recent loss of momentum and the resulting pile on of pundits is going to ruin his candidacy has yet to be answeredbut it is a pretty good bet that the politics of Willie Horton and the Swift Boat strategy is what is driving a desperate Clinton campaign and regardless of success or failure the democrats are on the brink of blowing it againMore than 15 billion dollars will be spent on this election before it is overthe media industrial complex is the winner as long as the process continues As long as meaningless incidents and quotinsensitive statementsquot by any candidate are distilled into entertainment continue masquerading as news thoughtful voters yearning for meaningful discussion of issues of real consequence are the losers
