Yes, I said weary!  The economy is in a tailspin with the ground rushing up to meet it quickly.  And yet the media has all these partisan surrogates on to talk the talking points.  It is nothing short of political bullshit.  They, regardless of which camp is speaking, is blaming the other.  Repubs say that Wall Street reform was brought to the Congress for 8 years and not one Dem was signed on.  Dems say that it is the disastrous policies of the Repubs that have lead to this crash.

So who do you believe?  A suggestion–NEITHER.  Only when they start talking specifics and stop the obfuscation of the issue will the “real” story be known.  Maybe the media should ask “real” economists what caused the burn and how to fix it.  These people the media are interviewing, the surrogates, get a cheat sheet on the talking points and that is what you get.  Not the “whole” truth, not necessarily a lie and not clarity just what each camp wants the media to hear and report.

Yes, the media is playing a large roll in this election.  They, journalists, are unhappy with bloggers, why?  Bloggers are not controlled by some media corporation and most likely are telling the truth, whereas the media is allowing the camps to dictate the message to the voter.

So yes, I am VERY weary of the media and their complacency in the obfuscation of the issues, especially the economic crash and burn we are experiencing right now.
