Unifnished thoughts about politics

by Jason Preston on May 6, 2008

I’ve been reading but don’t have the mental energy to put together coherent opinions. Here’s what I’ve got.

  • Read this: The People vs. Jeremiah Wright. Brilliant piece on, essentially, why I think political coverage is crap.
  • Political coverage in America is a disgrace because the media has an inherent desire to create conflict because they assume that conflict is the only thing that gets viewers.
  • American voters are pampered. It’s embarrassing to live in a nation where it’s political suicide to tell voters when they are wrong.
  • I am sick of the democratic primary.
  • I would probably not be sick of the democratic primary if I felt like anyone were discussing issues instead of trying to turn democracy into one big freak show.
