"The mainstream media, however, prefers to focus on one issue per
candidate, because it's easier, and makes a simpler story. Other mediots,
who can't be bothered with research, get their information from TV, and
report that as if it was the facts. Which leads to all these stories
about the media coverage of the cadidates. This is essentially reporting
about reporting, and like most incestuous activities, leads to a certain
loss of vigor." --
