Quote by: Katie Which newspaper broke the story about Edwards' affair . . . |
Do you really care who John Edwards goes to bed with? If so, have fun.
What counts, in my view, is the candidate's adherence to the values he espouses. If Palin wants to campaign on book-banning as a matter of public policy, fine. At least then you'd know what you were in for.
The rightwing bent of the US media doesn't manifest itself in private scandal, but in its discussion (actually
lack of discussion) of policies and their alternatives -- real alternatives.
Politics doesn't have to be all marching-bands, balloons and militarism y'know. But by narrowing the focus of the campaign down to such garbage, the media will help McCain get elected.
