Phoney Baloney Heralded As Caviar

April 29th, 2007

America’s self-indulgent corporate media arrived at a near-unanimous consensus as to who came off with the best answer during the recent Democratic presidential candidates debate in South Carolina. It was Senator Biden. Now, as Biden chairs the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, you would expect that the answer would have involved an intelligent exposition on a major international challenge facing America, such as the catastrophic war in Iraq. Well, if that’s your expectation, you expected too much. The Biden response that so impressed the most illustrious media commentators was the single word, “yes.” That, in response to a question about how he would reassure the American people that he would not be overly-verbose as president.

That media celebration over a three letter word from a candidate demonstrated the crass superficiality that the American media serves up to the American people as their “coverage” of the 2008 presidential campaign. Phoney baloney is fed to the public as caviar. No wonder that such pompous superficialities as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are the front-runners in this race.

In my view, this superficiality is critical to Hillary Clinton’s success. As long as a nobody, a junior senator from Illinois with virtually no meaningful leadership experience or track record, is presented by the media as the only serious challenger to Hillary’s goal of getting the Democratic presidential nomination, I don’t see how Hillary Clinton can fail in her plans to become America’s 44th president.

    Yep, our media will feed us a lot of crap about politicians and their lies. Clinton, Bush, Obama, they are all the same. They don’t care about the American people, only their friends in the media.
