He Said She Said

Well, I suspect that only the most hardened political junkie (and perhaps a few people in Montana or North Dakota who still have to vote) can be even slightly interested in the democratic primary race at this point. And if the media hasn't lost its way, just look at what we are reduced to now - he said she said ad nauseam. The media folks need a serious review of the most basic lesson in what constitutes news reporting rather than repeating every he-said-she-said that can be collected in the course of one day - or even a few hours, for that matter. Didn't someone say, "Talk is cheap"? No wonder TV is mostly free! And what a scandal to live in the US and have to go to BBC news to get real news in English. Perhaps soon the Spanish stations will begin providing surtitle translations and then the English-only crowd will be able to have a few choices for real news. Quelle scandale!!!! I usually like the Spanish newscasts. The commentators speak very cleary. However, el presidente Bush sounds comical to me every time! Of course, that begs the question, does anyone take the man seriously any more? Does anyone take the American media seriously any more? Who me, cynical?
