Main Stream Media

The problem with the media is not just that they suck, not just that they pander to the lowest common denominator, and not just they prize a pretty face above all other attributes.

The real problem is that they are proudly and aggressively stupid.  Witness this exchange with Dennis Kucinich:

Now, Kucinich is not exactly my cup of tea, but he is a more or less serious candidate for the position of Most Powerful Human On Earth.  Shouldn’t an interviewer at least listen to the man’s answers?  There she was, listening to a man talking about peace in the world, and she thinks she has a gotcha?
I really fear for democracy in such an atmosphere.  Where’s Walter Cronkite when you really need him?
