The Most Maddening Thing -The Deification Of Christie By The Media

[kpete]

The most maddening to me is the deification of Christie by the media. His opponent, Barbara Buono, was a very capable, hardworking woman. Yes she was a significant underdog but the media purposely ignored her all through the campaign. To the media she was boring. Never mind who would govern the State of New Jersey better. They were completely unfair in their coverage of the campaign. Then they ignored her when she said something was amiss after the campaign. To me it seemed clear there was political hanky panky going on. But the media silence was deafening.

It was as if the media was writing a movie script instead of reporting news.

The media always does this now and our nation really, really suffers for it.
