We are now on the eve of two weeks of non-stop coverage of the two major parties' national conventions. During this time it will be helpful to keep in mind the following assessment of the mainstream media's handling of political news. It comes from Marcos Moulitsas, founder of the DailyKos, as reported by Michael Calderone of Politico:
"[political coverage in the mainstream media is ] utterly vapid, devoid of context, frequently wrong, and wedded to narratives that defy all logic and reality."
Amen. I'm keeping my blood pressure medication handy.
