Untracked

Since I got off on a rant in the last post, I neglected to make my main point, which is, who is reading all of these news articles about what Obama or Romney says and whether their strategies or statements or gaffes are good, bad, or whatever? Like the lead on MSNBC.com about whether Obama's dumb, taken out of context quote about the private sector doing fine is important. Who's going to read that? And is that really the discussion we should be having? It seems like the media does an awful lot of talking to itself and I think it's lazy and destructive.
