Enough of this "Presidential Idol" campaign...

Way back in January, I started calling this 2008 election "Presidential Idol" as the news staffs of various media sought to influence caucus and primary outcomes more-so than to report on them. Now as we near November 4, we are constantly told what our expectations are or ought to be, and results of push-polling are reported as breaking news. Our antiquated-antenna-tv reception left me at times with nothing more than ABC, so I cite this one obvious bias. The morning after the Biden-Palin debate, GMA chose to play repetitively a clip of a Sarah Palin speech peculiarity...something I believe they would never have dared do ridiculing Donna Brazille's speech peculiarity as she criticized Palin's performance in the very same segment. Well, for now...enough.
