Unifnished thoughts about politics
If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.
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.

C'mon, Jason, blog posts are supposed to contribute something! Everybody knows this stuff already!
I'm sure you know I'm just giving you crap, but my point still stands. I do think it's really interesting that so many people—and even some in the media—recognize how much of our political coverage is bullshit, yet we keep on doing the same old thing. How do we change that?
