Your Crappy Media
Nice piece by the Right’s Field about some analysis of media coverage of the primary races. They tend to focus, hugely, on horserace stuff, and do very little actual reporting on issues or “how this might affect you, the voter”. What’s more, most Americans want LESS of the former and much much more of the latter, though that falls on deaf ears.
I don’t entirely buy that, incidentally. I think most people SAY they want more policy, because it sounds like the right thing to say, but really they want more dogfight.
But it’s a good thing to take a look at.
