Ok…so I'm Off Topic

October 25, 2002 By Will Richardson

“The choices made on Election Day will determine whether Republicans or Democrats control the Senate and the House of Representatives. The decisions made by those legislative bodies will profoundly affect the lives of Americans for years and decades to come.

If journalism is supposed to be the first draft of history, the fixation on the sniping story badly needs quick revision. But even if such coverage disappeared, the general prognosis for healthy political discourse would still be bleak.”

Thank god they caught the snipers so we can get back to the really important stuff…like Martha Stewart, Rosie O’Donnell, and the kids who bludgeoned their father. The media in this country has lost any credibility it might have gained after 9/11. Still a bunch of wind bags and know it alls who just want to spew their own opinions and call it journalism. Hey, is C-Span still on the air???
