the moderators, and press in general, are completely guilty of trying to create reality show type hype for a short attention span public that is only capable of responding to a little titillation rather than listen to ideas.



So the journalists are doing their job, trying to create wealth for their shareholders and Republicans complain about it?



pretty much - my post is pretty much about the attention span and desires of the voting public - and how media and politicians and everybody else steps up and feeds that need.

Clearly an example of how a free market is Hitler

no, clearly an example of how our public education system is Hitler

no, clearly an example of how our entitlement system is Hitler

no, clearly an example of how right wing greed is Hitler

regardless, wouldn't it be nice to have more smart people that aren't so emotional over subjective social crap?

(I blame the internet, instant gratification culture, and of course, Hitler)

(also, I don't think they are complaining at all. they are just pretending to. It was a really great PR gift - shallow, but a goldmine)

Why don't you blame Hitler?
