The Media Won the Debate

Less than a week after the first presidential debate and about four weeks until the general election it seems to me that the media is winning, hands down.

It is the sensationalism that drives the media, not balanced budgets and the growth of the middle class. At the end of the they are just trying to sell papers.  The headlines of major newspapers (see link) make the debate to a type of sport not a comparison of ideas, plans and visions.  Quite simply American love Hollywood style headlines. 

The election as always will come down to the 'undecided voter.'  To me I really don't understand, what makes someone make up their mind?  The two candidate and directions for our country couldn't be more different, is it a 'winning debate' or is it whomever the media's darling is that week?

This week think about how you have gathered information about the presidential candidates.  Post a comment on how you have formed your opinions and where you have gotten your information from.



....aaahhh the magic....
