According to political analysts, the Time piece features the most lack-of-depth reporting on Obama ever published, and for the first time reveals a number of inconsequential truths about the candidate, including how he keeps in shape on the campaign trail, and which historical figures the presidential hopeful would choose to have dinner with.
“The sheer breadth of fluff in this story is something to be marveled at,” New York Times Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet said." |
As I've stated before, there is emphasis on appealing to the Low-Info Voter. Some people vote for who they "like," as a celebrity or person.
Yes, it seems many media outlets prefer Obama.
But I do believe, after what I witnessed in past elections - that doing everything necesarry to win must be done (if you prefer BO, like I do).
Whatever it takes to win. That's what rove did. That's what T. Boone Pickens and the Swift boaters did.
Do whatever it takes to win.
Including "puff jounalism," as shallow as it is.
